- The dozens of volunteers who worked extremely hard work to make the day a huge success!
- Special thanks to the countless people who brought wonderful cakes for our tea-and-cake stall. We have never had so many — it makes us proud to be part of such a community!
And of course everyone who came along, ate, drank, bought vintage bric-a-brac and made the day such a success!
