Combs Fete committee chairman Stuart Scarff and other fete committee members presented a cheque of £4,000 to Rev Chris Childs on 31st August 2015 at the inaugural meeting of the church roof renovation fund.
The donation will be a considerable help towards funding the initial work to make things temporarily watertight, however there is still much fundraising to do as the overall costs are estimated to be in the region of £100 to £150,000.
Thanks to all who supported the fete in July. Please put next years fete date - 2nd July in your diary.
