On Sunday the Monday Quilters group held another of their lovely exhibitions, displaying the beautiful handmade quilts they had made. They had a good turn out of visitors who can only have been impressed by the ladies work. Proceeds from this also went to St Michael’s Hospice. Will report on how much was made next week

Everyone was holding their breathe on Sunday morning that the weather would remain dry for the planned Party on the green, to celebrate St George’s day. And it did. The turn out was good and there were lots of things going on. Kite flying, throw the ball in the dragons flame, catch the ducks, how many sweets in a jar and try avoid being squited with water, a firm favourite of all the children, although i think they had more fun being squirted. There was also a Maypole with which Rhiannon Rees had great fun with the children. There was a barbecue and popcorn machine, and everyone took picnic food with them. Thanks to everyone who turned up, to Rod Clifton, who’s idea this was, Tania & Michael Cheshire for opening their home for comfort, We all had a great day, thank you.
