A GREAT BIG THANK YOU 
to everyone who helped 
--to put the exhibition together in just over 2 hours on Friday night
--run around the town on Saturday morning putting up posters (and then trying to remember where they had been placed for removal on Sunday)
--Manned the ALL of the stalls on Saturday and Sunday
--Made about 200 cups of tea/coffee and CAKE!
--The Great crew who made and Sold hundreds of items on the sales table
--Donated the bags for the bag raffle and the ladies who sold the tickets
--Donated the 47 cushions for the cushion raffle and the ladies who sold those tickets
and 
--Took the whole lot down and cleared the room in about 1/2 an hour! on Sunday afternoon
 (including some darling men who just chip up and get on with it)

We couldn't have done it without you - F.A.C.T
