Submitted by Steve on 20:22, 1st Dec, 2015 | 0

On Saturday the GSPCA joined the stall holders in Market Square on the terrace to raise funds for the animals at the Shelter.

With gale force winds, driving rain and a nip in the air the volunteers helping had to brave the elements.

On the stall was Molly a young beagle who was dressed as Mrs Claus and certainly stole the show and helped raise much of the funds raised.

The stall was well positioned and we got to watch the unveiling of the bronze donkeys and also Santa turning on the Christmas town lights.
