Pencaitland Parish Church Christmas Fair

The Christmas Fair Team was delighted at the support shown by the community for the Annual Christmas Fair, which this year raised funds for the Church’s Wind and Watertight Appeal.  

It was great to see so many people coming along and create the lovely atmosphere throughout the day. We also raised £1,952 in total.  A big thank you to our helpers, those who donated and baked, and those who came along to make our Fair a success.

Christmas Cards are still available from 17 Beech Terrace, 341 836.

That figure may well rise further as some contributions were still coming in after the event.

It seems this sets the fund-raising effort well on their way towards hitting the target amount that will ensure the church can be adequately protected from the elements.

Don’t forget the further events still to come. these include the Christmas Fayre on the 26th of November in the Carriage House and a Quiz Night on the 3rd December in the Winton Arms. More details can be found here.
