Despite the sometimes challenging weather conditions, the Spring Fayre was well-attended, even by a couple of gun-toting stormtroopers apparently looking for a gift for the Dark Lord's birthday. The Pots of Love stall managed to raise £100 in total. Many thanks to everyone who stopped-by to visit the stall!
