PEOPLE who came to support a Winnersh church fayre, were able to enjoy some Spring sunshine.
The St Mary The Virgin church event was held to raise funds for the parish, and featured stall holders, plant sales, books, cakes, tombola, a raffle, refreshments and a barbecue.
Church administrator, and one of the organisers, Samantha Robson-Hunt, said: “The day went really well.
“We raised more than £1600, which even beats last year.
“It’s an amazing amount, and a really important event for us.”
St Mary’s Church is currently without a vicar.
Volunteers, including members of Ms Robson-Hunt’s family, all pitched in to help run the event.
“I roped in my daughters to run a stall, and my husband manned the barbecue,” said Ms Robson-Hunt.
“We’re two years into vacancy (for a church leader) and we rely on all the volunteers to keep things going.
“So it’s great that this event will help to support the parish.”
“The weather held, and lots of people were outside sitting in the sunshine.
“It was buzzing with visitors, and there was a lovely atmosphere.
“For me, it was wonderful seeing everyone’s hard work coming together.”
