It astounded me how many stalls and visitors were there in this its 10th year. What astounds me even more is how many fewer organisers there are to actually set all this up now. The work involved is incredible and a lot of the earlier "main players" have left now the committee.. Very well done to all of you who organised this...   There was one critic on FB who mentioned that this should not take place in a Muslim country... I think due to my answer he has now seen the error of his post.. !!

Very well said mercury - in the past I have been involved in setting up a Fayre in our small town - perhaps 20-25 stalls. The work in setting up the Calis one is simply staggering and as you said by a relative small number of people.

He wasn't being critical; quite the opposite as he went on to say further down the post when some people got all defensive and were quick to assume it was a criticism - thumbs up is usually and indication of support.

Any way it was a great day and the prom and restaurants were packed. Well done 3C's and hope it was a record breaker for the children you support.
