Saturday April 9th – Jumble Sale -


This event went really well with bric a brac stalls outside in the lovely weather and clothing stalls inside the hall, with tea, coffee and cakes. The people were queuing at the doors before we opened and the "buy a carrier bag and fill it up" was brilliant,no need to worry about the price of an item. We raised a total of £200. A very big thank you to Jennie for storing and sorting the items and to everyone who donated items and helped on the day.

Other Events

Wednesday 30th March – The County Quiz –


Our four teams arrived promptly on the night full of enthusiasm. The questions seemed to get harder as the night went on but we all persevered and lasted to the end. Some of our answers were very creative (may be not right but it was fun to invent new words). However one of our teams came in the top three and they are going on to the semi-finals - Well done ladies.
