Thank you

Thank you to all the wonderful stall holders and Petes's Magic, The Swedish Folk High School, Glenn Butler our auctionier, Santa Claus and his pixies .. Alicia and Mona and all the great friends who helped make today happen.

We have raised about £300.00's in the auction for Action on Addiction and about £50.00's from visits to Santa for the Children's Society.

Slava's Snowshow

Very, very good

Violins

our pixies may be in the paper tomorrow.. but being pixies, they may not

and the Swedish Folk High School will bring violins on Sunday to play folk music as well, big thank you

Fishing rod

Burgess Hill Angling Centre have donated a Shakespeare Firebird Combo Rod and Reel Fishing Set which will be included in the auction once Santa and his pixies have whisked away..

Floor plan

We have a floor plan we will get to you by midweek and welcome please your feedback and ideas or advice. We have put friends togethor when youve told us and food and crafts are togethor in upstairs hall and childrens activities downstairs

We will probably open doors for stallholders setting up about 10 - im sorry that is not a lot of time and we need to go over fire regs before we open up.

If you are two and can repark in recreation ground once youve dropped off, that would be great.. its on the left hand side as you leave Ditchling on the way to Lewes.

Thank you for being part of our event

Santa haunts

Below places to find Santa in London... specially liked Rudolf's Nose Dunker (may borrow this) and the skating rinks are great, i'm really sorry, didn't realise how gruesome the London Dungeon show is

Snow

woke up to snow falling, not much sadly and soon gone but very raw

lazy day.. abandoned the flyers and watched skiing instead and figured out how to improvise a screen from things ive found around the house :O) and think we have the promise of a fishing rod..so our St Nick surprise is looking hopeful

costing out the cakes.. planning to make a chocolate cake, brownies, cherry cake, ginger and treacle and lemon drizzle traybakes and we are being supplied with an iced carrot loaf, an orange and lemon crunchy loaf and a pear, almond and orange zest loaf from Ouse Valley Foods.

just been out watching the sunset over the downs but no red skies the last two days
