<strong>Charmouth</strong> Traders Christmas Fayre<br />
The <strong>Charmouth</strong> Traders<br />
Christmas Fayre was held on<br />
the evening of Thursday<br />
December 1st. The previous year<br />
we were sweeping the snow from<br />
the streets to make sure the<br />
evening went ahead. This time<br />
round we were merely hoping for<br />
the rain to ease off, which<br />
fortunately it did.<br />
The Street looked very festive with<br />
the new shooting stars on the<br />
lamposts up the length of the<br />
street and lots of the shops and<br />
other businesses decked out in<br />
Christmas lights and trees.<br />
We had decided on a circus theme<br />
for this year and many of the shop<br />
staff had embraced this theme with<br />
some fantastic costumes. Santa's arrival in Nick Bailey’s vintage car<br />
started the evening and was greeted by enthusiastic children and adults<br />
alike.<br />

Our original street entertainer Julian Dorrell unfortunately was stuck in<br />
the USA by cancelled flights but recommended Jamie Jigsaw who at the<br />
last minute stepped into the role and entertained children with stilt walking ,<br />
juggling and balloon animals.<br />
There was also music from Posh Choir and Wendy Knee’s Saxaphones to keep<br />
the festive feel.<br />
<strong>Charmouth</strong> PTA launched its new cookbook featuring recipes provided by many<br />
people in the village, and their stall serving free samples of many of the dishes<br />
featured was very popular.<br />

Once again we have to thank those who<br />
donated prizes for the raffle and offer<br />
congratulations to Ruben Wild who won the<br />
kids’ fancy dress competition and to<br />
<strong>Charmouth</strong> Fish Bar who won the best<br />
dressed tree. Special mention must be made<br />
to those adults who dressed the part as well.<br />
We managed to raise over £700 on the<br />
evening which, like the sum raised on the<br />
Bonfire on the Beach will go into the CTA<br />
coffers towards other projects .We will also<br />
be offering donations to village societies and<br />
clubs, information for<br />
