Despite some very "iffy" weather the Swanage Rotary Craft Fair and Summer Fete proved a great success. The high winds tested the patience of the exhibitors and the tent pegs but eventually the sun shone and a great day was enjoyed by all.
President Maggie Hardy thanks everyone for all their help and contributions which made the day such a success. "It's a great community event" said Maggie, "whether it's people buying raffle tickets or helping on the day, everyone comes together to have a good time and raise money for many great causes".
Details of the raffle winners are as follows:
