Title: Pennine Pen Christmas Fair
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on September 20, 2009, 11:35:08 AM: Our Christmas Fair has been organised, and is a tad early this year, on the 1st November between 12 and 4, at our premises on Honeywell Lane, Oldham. Entrance Fee is £1, and you get a free raffle ticket. There will be lots to do, and also some nice food for sale.

I am allowed to say - the bloke who plays Andy Sugden in Emmerdale.

Wouldn't know him if I fell over him :rofl: but Emmerdale is very popular so hopefully he'll be a crowd-puller. I might not be able to make it as I will be car-less from Friday (until my new one arrives :sneaky:) so it will depend whether OH needs his car.
Title: Re: Pennine Pen Christmas Fair
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on October 28, 2009, 08:04:57 AM: Me neither, haven't watched Emmerdale for a couple of years now, but hopefully will help bring people in. Fingers crossed OH doesn't need his car, would be nice to meet you again.

Post by: CarolM (Wendolene) on October 28, 2009, 13:15:21 PM: Just had a phone call to say that my new car might arrive on Friday so :crossed:

Title: Re: Pennine Pen Christmas Fair
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on November 01, 2009, 20:43:26 PM: The day was a great success, even though our celebrity was quite late!! We took £1015, but someone has just offered to make a donation as she couldnt attend, so the value might go up a bit more yet, and that doesn't include the donations of food, bedding and bric a brac we can sell at future events. It was nice to see some faces from the forum and finally put some faces to names!!

Post by: Janeyk on November 01, 2009, 20:50:31 PM: :wow: that's great,

did he arrive after we left then?
Title: Re: Pennine Pen Christmas Fair
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on November 01, 2009, 20:53:41 PM: He was there while you were there, he left just before you!! He definitely walked through while we were stood talking.
Title: Re: Pennine Pen Christmas Fair
Post by: Janeyk on November 01, 2009, 20:56:32 PM: oh right, never noticed him!
Title: Re: Pennine Pen Christmas Fair
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on November 01, 2009, 20:59:18 PM: In all fairness, he didn't make much of an impression!! Dont know what he was like round the animals though.
