BIG BOOST FOR FUNDS FROM PLANT FAIR

Society funds have been boosted by am impressive £305 thanks to the stall at this year’s Plant Fair in King’s Lynn.

Set out in a corner of the Tuesday Market Place in May, the stall was organised by Chairman, David Wilson and committee member, Tom Turnbull.

Other members helped on the day and donated items to sell.

Clearly the mixed weather during the annual fair run by King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council as part of a weekend of events to mark the town’s trading over centuries with the Hanse League didn’t put off the shoppers.

A similar stall last year raised around £90.

CHANGE OF DISCOUNT SUPPLIER

Stratfords, of King’s Lynn, has agreed to take part in the Society’s membership scheme in place of Norfolk Country Clothing, which has ceased trading.
