Large Christmas hampers and plates upon plates of baked yummies and preserves were also on hand for the more immediate needs of shoppers.

The annual, end-of-year sale for the Wednesday Craft Group ended up being a resounding success, as it always is, with most of the items for sale sold by the end of the day.

“We had all sorts of goods for sale, and about 75 percent had found a new home within four hours,” President Kris Whiteley told News Of The Area.

“Lots of people from the community visited for their early Christmas shopping, and it just shows how generous our community is.”

The Craft Group members are encouraged to make and create their items throughout the year, and after a small portion goes to the funding of the Club’s core activities, proceeds will find their way to the donations at Biggest Morning Tea next May, which have traditionally included gifts to volunteer-run and essential services community groups such as the RFS, Meals on Wheels, Free Clinic Bus, Westpac Rescue Helicopter, and more.

“We had a very successful sale, and want to give a big thank-you to our generous community, and to the women who invested their time and energy into the sale and its items.”
