“The performers from the Melton Performing Stars Academy deserve a special mention for putting on a great show.
“We had a craft fair, children’s games, a climbing wall, bouncy castle, a fire engine, police car and more.
“The dog show was very popular and the tombola, barbecue and bar ran out.
“I anticipate the takings for the church will be somewhere between £3,000-£4,000 once counted.
