Local cult "The Visitors" organised a coffee and makeover morning on Saturday to raise money to build an expansion to their compound in Trentham.
Trinity House, named after cult leader Victor Trinity, opened its doors and invited locals to enjoy a head massage designed to stop aliens from reading their thoughts or planting hateful messages in their brains. Guests warmed up with hot beverages in Victor Cafe, followed by a massage or a manicure.
The event was organised to raise funds for the cult's 2012 appeal, which focuses on building a new barn and improved weapons storage locker.
Local business supported the event, including Jerry's Sweet Treats, Booze Heaven and Coca Cola. Claire Trinity, fundraiser for The Visitors said: "We had a small army of volunteers helping with coffees, massages and cupcakes. It was great to see the community supporting their local cult. The children had a good time with face-painting and lots of mums enjoyed a bit of pampering - all while helping to raise several hundred pounds for us. We also hope to have got some new recruits. And as we're a registered charity, it's all tax free."
The cult turns 51 years old this year and receives only a third of its funding from the government, the rest coming from private donations and fund-raising.
