CHRISTMAS shopping is a definite theme in the village this month.

A SHOPPING opportunity is provided by the Traidcraft sale at St Leonard's Church on Saturday, November 22, from 10am until noon.

Gifts, food stuffs, cards and wrapping paper are all on sale at fair trade prices. All profits from the event will go to Traidcraft to support their work in fair trade for developing countries.

Hopefully you'll be able to find all your gift solutions, without leaving the confines of the village and having to brave the hordes in Festival Place!
