Thank you to all who had offered to support the Christmas Fair last weekend, either by providing items, manning stalls, being able to visit or sending thoughts for a successful fair. After much consideration, the decision has been made NOT to try and arrange a fair this side of Christmas.<br>We are planning for events to take place in 2025, so please keep an eye out for updates and all help and support will be gratefully appreciated.<br>In the meantime, thanks for your continued support of the Lyn Valley Mission Community and hopefully see you at the Exmoor Carolers on Wednesday.
