Christmas market
Carol Fear and Victoria Walker from East Harptree
EAST Harptree School PTA held its Christmas Market in the village theatre instead of the school and needed the extra room. PTA chair, Jody Judd, said: “We raised a fantastic £630 for our wonderful school. I would just like to thank all of the PTA members and all of the local village and people from the Valley coming to help support this event. It was a huge success.”

Lions’ pre-loved sale
CHEDDAR Vale Lions are replacing their normal jumble sale with a pre-loved sale on February 26th in the village hall. This means they will take donations of good condition items only and will resell them to support their work in the community. They will not be able to accept shoes, underwear (unless new and packaged), electrical items or furniture, but will accept good quality bric-a-brac and books. Items can be delivered to the hall on the day after 12noon, so that they can be sorted ready for the opening at 2pm. There will be an entrance fee of 20p, with refreshments available.
