There was no doubt about the popularity of the Bottle Tombola at the Abbey Christmas Fair on 25 November. The queue was almost relentless with those keen to see if they would win a bottle – or several! It was all in the luck of the draw. 243 bottles were on display with a great variety of contents and all were good humoured whether they won or not! The stall raised the princely sum of £608.50 for the Abbey funds out of the total raised by the Fair of £7,022.23. Well done to Colin and Rosemary Davis who put in the heavy work and put the stall together (can you imagine moving all those bottles!) as well as all who helped on it during the day, donated bottles or came and tried to win some back. A great result on a lively and enjoyable day.
