This year our Christmas Fair in Wells Town Hall was held on November 26^th.

Weatherwise conditions were just right. It was dry but not sunny and not too cold and there were lots of people in Wells looking for Christmas bargains.

As always sales of Christmas Cards, Diaries and Calendars were brisk.

Then every one wanted coffee and cakes so our team of helpers in the refreshment area were kept busy from about 10.00 am onwards. We had a good selection of home made cakes on offer along with home made soup and light lunches. The bacon butties didn’t sit around for long either.

The takings to date are £4000 which we think is pretty amazing given the current financial situation. So our homeless cats, and there are plenty of them, will be kept warm and well fed this winter.

We would like to send heartfelt thanks to every one who worked so hard to make it such a successful day. You are all heroes but a special mention goes to the volunteers who helped us to pack up and load our cars at the end of a busy, tiring day. You are a godsend.

Thank you also to all who came along to spend money and also those who produced photos of cats we have homed. It is always good to hear how the ex-CP cats are getting along. I was delighted to hear about Watney who I homed as a tabby kitten NINE YEARS ago. He is now a very big tabby male. He was always a kitten who let his sister take the lead and check out new situations and apparently nothing has changed.

We look forward to seeing you all again at our Spring Fair in April. Details will be on our web site www.stray-cat.co.uk after Christmas.
