Horley Summer Fete – thank you!

A big thank you to everyone who came along to the Horley fete recently, and special thanks to Megan Bottoms who took some great photos of the event – see below.

As it’s clear from the photos, everyone seemed to be having a good time! The refreshments in the Old School were very popular (delicious cakes – thank you all the bakers!) and there was an excellent selection of stalls in the Church. What’s more, we raised a fantastic £2,300 for our Church and local charities, so thank you again!
