You can tell when autumn has arrived, apart from leaves beginning to fall, when this charity event appears again on our calendar. Organised as usual by Friends & Neighbours, Pat Platt and her trusty team occupied Hickey's Chapel to set up proceedings for 27th September

All thanks are due to the volunteers who manned (and womanned?) the stalls offering refreshments, lottery, tombola, home baking, arts and crafts, and other attractions. Amongst the hustle and bustle Nancy Baldwin, Mayor of Richmond and her Deputy James Chard enthusiastically joined in what was, in effect a party.

It is very gratifying to report that the sum of £1,025 was raised. This reflects the generosity of all residents and visitors who contributed so handsomely and to whom all thanks are due.
