Christmas Fayre 2010

Snow remains in the Benholm valley long after it has gone from elsewhere which meant that the Mill of Benholm Christmas Fayre was held at the Bervie Church Centre this year.

There were some who travelled all the way from Aberdeen to take part which meant that once again the children could meet Santa Claus, play with the toy trains and decorate their own ginger bread men whilst parents prepared for Christmas buying homemade baking, mince pies, Christmas cake and sweets and presents from the stalls.

Thanks to the volunteers from MEARNS FM radio who brought their sound equipment to entertain and attract the attention of passing folk and swelling the visitor numbers.

Thanks to Robert Wilson for once again delighting young and old with his vintage electric tinplate toy trains and to Gary ..... for entertaining the children so famously as Santa.

There was a special event this year with a press photographer taking pictures of Emma Ronald receiving a framed certificate of thanks from Charity Chairman Ian Hunter.

Emma had organised an extra special birthday party this year for her many friends.

Emma asked her friends and relations NOT to buy her birthday presents but to instead contribute if they wished to her favourite charity.

All those who attended her party had contributed a donation and together they raised £350 which Emma donated to her favourite charity, Mill of Benholm.
Emma was presented with a framed certificate recognising her efforts and generosity during the Mill of Benholm annual Christmas Fayre held this year at The Bervie Church Centre.

Thanks again to all those locals who have become Mill of Benholm Members to make Christmas wreaths, organise and run activities and give up their free time to prepare the venue and clear away afterwards.
