Arthur must have had an extremely busy weekend visiting all the festivities going on in Marple.

A new album has been set up on the Virtual Tour and Arthur's first photos from Santa's Friday evening visit to Top Lock are on-line.

Marple and District Women's Institute will be raising funds for Marple Skatepark Development Project at Marple's Christmas Cracker on Saturday 6th December.

MAD WI members voted to support the Skatepark Project and will be doing cakes and cookies, jams, marmalade and lemon curd and various craft things like aprons and owl Christmas tree decorations at this popular local community event. They will also be doing biscuit decorating for kids.

It all sounds decidedly YUMMY, so please make sure you call in to the MAD WI Stall near the Bull's Head!
