Burwash

What a wonderful time we all had at the charity lunch last Sunday. Held at the village hall 44 diners sat down to enjoy a freshly cooked three course lunch. With four choices of starter, five mains and six desserts, there was something for everyone to enjoy. We had a huge raffle for which I give grateful thanks to everyone who donated them. We were entertained by singer Harry, who gave us some great songs from the crooners. My very grateful thanks to the Roth family, Claire, Rhiannon & Werner, Nina Davis, Simon Groombridge & of course my lovely hubby Barry Taylor for all their hard work preparing, serving and clearing away. With donations from people who were unable to attend but wish to support we made over £700 for Aaron’s trip to the World Scout Jamboree. Thank you so much to everyone for making it such a perfect occasion.

Tomorrow the St Bartholomew’s church are holding a Bake off & Bake sale. Entries can be delivered to the church between 10.30pm & 1.30pm. The doors will open at 2pm for visitors.
