PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NO COFFEE MORNINGS IN AUGUST – WE WILL BE HAVING OUR USUAL ANNUAL BREAK - thank you to everyone for your support over the last year! Our fundraising coffee morning on July 10th was very well attended, and we managed to send a donation of £250 to our village school. The money will be spent on funding an activity day for the children in September which will include a caving activity, archery, an inflatable assault course and bushcraft skills including fire making and cooking. The school have thanked us for our donation and the children are very much looking forward to this day next term. Thank you to everyone who came along, and also to those who helped in any way whether that was setting up tables, manning the kitchen or selling raffle tickets, your efforts were very much appreciated.
Our next one will be on Wednesday September 11th, so please make a note in your diary.
Save the Date: Saturday September 14th. The village will be holding a Macmillan Coffee Morning in the village hall from 10 – 12 noon. Further details in the next newsletter but there will be lots of cake, hot drinks, Philip Male’s photographs, and Ray’s popular bottle tombola! In light of this, we would like to ask if you would consider donating a bottle or two please, as we need to collect 100 Bottles? During August we are hoping that people will be able to donate bottles which can be any type and size at all including drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, sauces both sweet and savoury, bubble bath, shower gel, etc, or anything else you can think of in either glass or plastic. Please give your bottle(s) to Ray & Margaret Manley, Annie & Nigel Crocker or Helen Greer, or bring them to the village hall on a Wednesday morning or Friday evening. Thank you for your generosity!
Coffee mornings are always on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month (except August), from 10 – 12 noon in the village hall, so come along to enjoy delicious homemade cakes, sausage rolls, coffee, tea and hot chocolate – but please come early if you would like a sausage roll as they always disappear quickly! Everyone welcome, and if you’re new to the village, it’s a great way to meet some friendly faces, so please give it a try!
