Our Christmas Festivitea! 3rd December 2011

Here's where you can find out all about how we got on at our Christmas Festivitea!

On 3rd December, we took over the main hall of the United Reformed Church once again, and filled it with lots of Christmassy fun ...


Some of the prizes in our new Advent Calendar game ...


More prizes ...


The game itself!


We had our ever-popular Lucky Dip


And we had our 'Guess How Many Sweets in the Santa Hat' game, and 'Guess Santa's Name' game


We had our hand-crafted grotto ready for Waveney Football Club's Roary to give out presents


And our tombola!


Our well-stocked bric-a-brac stall


Beautiful hand-made jewellery stall

The letterbox was all ready to receive letters to Santa
