A great night was had by all at the Ceilidh at the end of November. The Space was packed to capacity, Stargazy Pie provided the merry music and, as well as some stylish dance moves, there was much giggling and occasional confusion despite the best efforts of caller Gill Thornton. The young Totnesians who came last year returned in even greater numbers and again had a whale of a time. Thanks to all who helped make the night such a success, especially the soup makers, Val, Mary, Tracy and Jenny. Over £500 was raised into the bargain, which will help pay the electricity bills! Though heating was defintely not needed at the Ceilidh! A huge thank you to Stargazy Pie and Gill!
The following week, from a pile of holly, eucalyptus, berries and other greenery gathered from local gardens and hedge rows emerged some beautiful wreaths and festive decorations at the Christmas Craft Workshop. (Miyu and Bee pictured here produced very stylish creations.) It proved a very sociable affair with an amazing variety of wreaths and table decoration produced with the help of lots of cake and mulled wine, and expert and tactful guidance from Karen Smith of Deapp Farm who organised the event. Everyone left feeling very pleased and a most welcome £150 was raised for the Space that was immediately spent on a new pump to get rid of the flood water in the boiler room! Thank you, Karen, for a great start to the festive season!
