Many people made a bee-line for the popular home-made cake and preserve stall whilst others clamoured for pearls, bracelets, rings and broaches on the well-stocked jewellery stall; although Cancer Research volunteer Beryl Burbridge jokingly pointed out that anyone expecting to find a real gem may be disappointed as apparently: "All that glitters is not gold on the jewellery stall!"

Along with a raffle, other stalls sold a variety of items including books, games, toys, gifts, stationary, bric a brac, etc.

Teas, coffees and biscuits were served and a little over 298 was raised for Cancer Research which secretary Elizabeth King said was a "good result".

Elizabeth also wishes to remind people that the next coffee morning on 22nd November will be the bumper Christmas event.
