St Brelade’s Community Christmas Fayre
by Jane Patterson
On 3rd December 2016 St Brelade’s Parish Hall held their annual Community Christmas Fayre and the official lighting of the Christmas Trees & La Place de St Aubin.
Entertainment on the day included the The Corps of Drums, both La Moye and Mont Nicolle School Choirs, Les Quennevais School Steel Band, local band “Run for Cover” and the “Jersey Lillies”.
There were mulled wine & mince pies on sale (donated by St Brelade’s Bay Hotel) as well as a variety of cakes and sweets and soups and bean crocks. All monies raised in aid of four local charities:
-Pathways
-10th Jersey (St Brelade) Scout Group
-Les Quennevais Steel Band
-The RNLI in memory of Mark Le Riche
The weather was great and although cold there wasn’t a cloud in sight! After the lighting of the tree the day was ended off with with a fantastic fireworks display.
