Where the funds went for 2018

 

Every year the visitors to The Rose Fair come, over a thousand go into the Rose Show, some go into open gardens and fill in the donation tins, many buys raffle tickets, the generous donate, readers buy the Rose Fair news, locals advertise in the publication,  sponsors come, businesses advertise, market stall holders arrive, money making initiatives donate the proceeds and  once the Rose Fair finishes we had over R90,000 in our accounts. The village involvement and fund raising activity level is humbling. This last year 2018/2109 we have paid out the following for the Communities benefit from Rose Fair Funds
