Christ Church Bazaar

On 23^rd June 2010, Launceston Place restaurant took their cooking outdoors. To help raise money for Christ Church, Victoria Road, Launceston Place provided a BBQ for all those attending the bazaar. It's such a community event and we're really proud to be asked to be a part of it for the second year in a row. Our efforts and all those running stalls at the bazaar helped to raise £7,000 for the church.
