Stephen Metcalfe, local MP
for South Basildon and East Thurrock, kicked off the festive season with local
residents at the St Giles and All Saints Christmas Bazaar at Orsett churches
centre last weekend.
The annual Bazaar proved to
be a great success with a good turnout. There was lots on offer to do and
refreshments to enjoy with tombola’s, cake stalls, crafts, card stalls and a
raffle, with tickets drawn by the local MP and Cllr Sue Little.
Mr Metcalfe commented: “This
was a great way to start the run up to Christmas. There was lots for people of
all ages to enjoy and participate in and looking around I could see that
everyone enjoyed the Bazaar as much I did!”
“I would like to thank all
those who worked so hard to organise the event and to the volunteers who manned
the many stalls and activities. In enjoying the moment it’s easy to forget that
a great deal of effort and hard work has gone on behind the scenes and this has
not gone unnoticed.”
