Thank you everyone who came to the joint Winter Fair and Art Exhibition at Rowlands Castle in November. It was a tremendous success and had a wonderful friendly atmosphere with over 400 visitors both local and from far afield.
Rowlands Castle WI enjoyed another successful venture producing an abundant Winter Fair of crafts, preserves, cakes and bakes. The pop-up-cafe saw a record number of visitors enjoying a slice of homemade cake or scone with a cuppa, making nearly £500 for Motiv8, a charity that provides a range of activities to support and help inspire vulnerable young people in Havant.
In the Art Exhibition visitors viewed nearly 150 paintings and unframed folios. Many paintings were sold and cards were as popular as ever, with the Art Society receiving commission for their funds. The tombola raised nearly £200 which was a record. Visitors enjoyed voting for their favourite picture which was won by Edward Girard with ‘Greeting the Titanic’. All the hard work by helpers and stewards made it a really enjoyable event.
So, do come again this year, November 16th and 17th.
