Sobo eco fayreThank you so much to everyone who came to our first SOBO ECO FAYRE Sunday 29th of September. With over 700 visitors and 27 stall holders and many local musicians, it is safe to say that our eco fayre was a great success. A big thank you to SHRAP who sponsored the event, and everyone who contributed through our crowdfunding campaign. Altogether the crowdfunding raised £205. The money is used to cover the organisational costs of the event; insurance, first aid, printing information material etc. A very special thank you to Bournemouth Collegiate School who let us have their sports hall last minute, so we could be safe from the forecasted rain and winds. |
