BINGO: Thank you to Pauline Wilson, Fiona Hosein and Kim Lee for a very enjoyable prize bingo evening last Friday. Despite having a bad throat, call Pauline did a sterling job with Fiona as her aid. The prizes were amazing and so many donated by the local businesses including The Bear, The Wheel, the Flower House, the Butchers, Sparkle Team cleaners, and others. There were hampers, wine, chocolates, hanging baskets, home made cakes and more. Kim Lee and her daughter kept us all well supplied with refreshments. It was good to see whole families playing the game together and having a lot of luck. Well done everyone. It is thought that about £230 was raised for the repairs to the roof of the Guide and Brownie meeting hut in Burwash Common. Well done everyone. If there is anyone who thinks they can help this long running group for you girls, either with donations towards the cost or with help with the repairs. Call Jackie Ashdown on 01435 882196, she would be delighted to hear how you wish to get involved.
