Beryl Moran, secretary of the Friends, said: “We had a fantastic day on Saturday at our Christmas Market. The rooms were packed and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

“We know from the £1 admission that 166 people attended plus, of course, 28 of our faithful helpers were there.

“We took £1770 on the day, and the overall total raised by our Christmas events was £3,298.
