Hall fundraiser makes £200

MORE than £200 was raised at a spring market in the ex-servicemen’s public hall in Eskdalemuir last Saturday.
Sarah Stuart, hall committee member, said: “It was a good day at the hall and we raised £217.
“We had some stalls selling quality pre-loved clothes, books and bric-a-brac, along with some stallholders.”
They were Jen Devery of Murag Jewellery, Ross of Moffat, Tropic Skincare by Fiona Bell, Bessie’s Hill Workshop, Christine Ewart of Pre-You and Ian Stuart with his home-made birdboxes.
Admission included a drink, home-made cake and tombola ticket.
