A splendid community occasion

On Saturday 29 June the St James community came together at the Trust’s annual summer fundraising event. Blessed with fine weather, friends and neighbours sought bargains at the plant and book stalls where business was brisk while home-made cakes, teas, coffee and squash were consumed at the refreshment stall.

There were also parachute games, giant Jenga and Connect Four for all to enjoy but perhaps the high spot was a visit from Minerva, the Little Owl.

An excellent, well-supported day which raised much-needed funds thanks to the efforts of our volunteers and the generosity of members who donated plants, books and cakes.
