in The Thatch, Ferns at 9pm

Each year a table quiz is held by Ferns Community Development Association CLG, to raise funds to pay for replacement, repair and maintenance of Christmas lights. The cost of running the Christmas lights project each year is high because of the need to observe health and safety guidelines. Where once volunteers could help put them up and take them down, this is no longer an option because of insurance implications.

Feedback from members of our community , including businesses, tells us that having the Christmas lights is important, adding cheer and a festival atmosphere – a warm welcome to those who liv, visit or do business in Ferns.

We urge you to support this fundraiser by taking a table, sponsor a round or purchasing raffle tickets which will be on sale in Centra Supermarket, Ferns on Friday next from 9am.

Sponsors:

Huge thanks to the individuals, businesses and donors who supported this fundraiser by your sponsorship, taking a table or providing prizes for the raffle. With your generous support, our annual quiz would not be the success it is.
