On Thursday 17 May, ABF The Soldiers’ Charity staged their annual Spring Fair at Tennants auction house in Leyburn. The event proved an enormous success at its’ new venue, having moved from Hovingham where it had previously been held for a number of years. Preceded by a reception for supporters of the Charity in Yorkshire and the North East on 16 May, the fair proved a real “hit” for visitors who steadily streamed through the door all day. Lt Col Brian de la Haye, the Charity’s Regional Director said, “We have been absolutely delighted with this, our first staging of the event here in Leyburn and the event raised £10,500.00. We have been so warmly received and are already making plans to continue the event next year.”
