'A Young Person's review'

by Vicky Bruce

What a day we had, we had everything you could buy for Christmas and more… from Christmas cards to cakes, candles, decorations, jewellery and gifts for the family. All the young people made all their items themselves so well done all of you and a BIG THANK YOU to the following:

Vicky Bruce, Nicola Biswell, Nicola Slee, Emma Smith, Kirri Raper, Lyndsey Tanner, Helen Lawson, Rachel Byrne, Paige (Rachel’s sister), Lucy Adlington, Joanna Hainsworth and Rosie Kelly and of course not forgetting the mum's, dad’s and nana’s – including my own.

We also had a great success with the tombola with the prizes flying off the shelf in the first 25 minutes of the day and a big thank you to Rachel and Paige’s mum.

For those who needed a rest from selling or buying we also had a craft area were the lovely Carol got non-crafters crafting and I’m sure we will have some new additions to our Christmas sellers next year.

As well as the members crafts we had our own ME North East Christmas cards designed by our own Young People to buy and they went down a storm.

It was nice to see everyone again and for us all to be together in the same place after so long and good to catch up with old pals and to also meet new friends.

An enjoyable day had by all. I really enjoyed selling my items after putting several months of hard work into them and enjoyed raising the money for ME North East.
