Fundraising for the Project

Fundraising for the Friargate Project took off in May. On one Sunday, a plant stall raised £135.



On the same day there was a lively auction of promises under the leadership of our able auctioneer Andrew (Bone) Jones.

Friends didn't hold back with their comments and advice on how the lots should best be dealt with but Bone coped well with calls from the floor that would have been ripe for  a music hall.


"What's this lot? Taxidermy, you say?" - "No, I said taxi service."


Gardening, learning to make a pot, music and language lessons, portrait painting all went under the hammer, and over £2000 was raised towards the cost of developing our community meeting place.
