BBC presenter Beverley Thompson opens WRAS Christmas fair
9 December 2008
Local BBC South East Today TV News Presenter Beverley Thompson opened WRAS’s Christmas Fair at the Clinton Centre, Seaford on Saturday (6th Dec). Beverley addressed a packed room giving her support for the "valuable work" undertaken by all WRAS volunteers.
The fair was a great success raising £551.02. Father Christmas also come along for the event too and was a great success with the children and adults alike. We would also like to thank local artist David Everard who donated an original watercolour painting for the raffle too.
WRAS would like to express its thanks to Julia Bond for organising the event and all the hard work of the WRAS volunteers to helped man the stalls, bake cakes and donate items for sale.

It is very easy to assume a bird has been abandoned when you find it on the ground, but quite often it is a fledgling learning to fly. When a fledgling takes its first flight it is going to be unsuccessful, it is natural for them to spend 2-3 days on the ground sometimes before they can fly properly. Mum and dad will normally be nearby but they do not always fly down to feed every few minutes as they are trying to encourage the youngster to fly. Both the youngster and the parents are good at hiding themselves.
