The Lebanon Sale

There was a big response for donations for the Sale on behalf of the displaced people of Lebanon held at the weekend, much more than it was possible to sell on the morning itself.

Pictured below are the 'crew' who ran the whole operation in the Parish Centre. A show of pictures taken by Des Travers in Lebanon caused considerable interest, and underlined the seriousness of the situation.
