Autumn fair a success for chapel funds

-

THE team behind a charity autumn fair have said it was a great success.

Members from Langley Methodist Chapel organised the annual autumn fair for the community.

It was held to raise money for chapel funds and also for a variety of charities which the chapel supports through the year.

The committee has said the event was a great success, raising around £700 for the causes.

Stalls at the event included a variety of goods including crafts, bric-a-brac, cakes, books, children’s toys, handbags and jewellery.

Refreshmen­ts were served in the morning, as well as lunches.

There was also a demonstrat­ion of Scottish dancing by the Langley Scottish Dancing Group, with bagpipe solos.

Barrie McQuinn, from the church, said: “Admission to the event was free and everyone from the community was welcome.

“There was around £700 raised for chapel funds and charities that we support throughout the year.

“In addition to the usual stalls there was an excellent demonstrat­ion of Scottish dancing with a couple of bag pipe solos.

“It was a very successful event.”

The chapel is looking forward to another event coming up when Macclesfie­ld Male Voice Choir will perform a Christmas Concert.

The concert will take place on Friday, December 4 at 7pm at Langley Methodist Chapel.

Tickets cost £7 which includes tea or coffee and biscuits.
