Rotary Christmas Fayre, Chertsey

It has been many years since North West Surrey RSPB Group attended this annual event, but it was felt that it was a good opportunity to sell some memberships for Christmas and raise some funds.

There was a steady stream of punters from 10.00am to 2.00pm through the Hall where many charities were displaying their goods. There was plenty of competition which was healthy. We did £46 on RSPB sales, £12 on cards and £25 on cuddly toys.

Thanks go to the team of four who turned out for the day and to the public who attended the day and supported the RSPB.

Garsons Farm, Esher



Garsons Farm approached us during the summer of 2007 and asked us if we would do a promotion at their Garden Centre at Esher during the weeks that Autumnwatch was on the television. This we were happy to do and on Saturday 10th November moved in with our RSPB recruitment and information table together with children's games and activities. It was a cooler day but the Farm was already busy with the shoppers keen and thinking about Christmas. Our team of helpers spent the day engaging the public about the RSPB, collected 36 Name Gathering cards and recruited 3 new members to the RSPB.

Thank you to the team of helpers who turned out on the day. Thank you also to Garsons Farm for inviting us.
