Next Wednesday, April 16 is the second Flower Arranging session from 10am – 12 noon in the main hall. The Coffee Morning to raise funds for the Flower Festival will be happening at the same time in the back rooms (use the back door) from 10.30 – 12.30. There will be a Bring and Buy stall and Cakes.

The Table Sale last Sunday at the hall produced a wonderful array of goods. It would have been good to have rather more potential buyers. Nevertheless this was another successful “first” for the refurbished hall and the next one will be arranged for some time in the early autumn.

Tina’s exercise classes for the “not-so-young” are proving popular, why not pop in and see if they suit you? They take place on Tuesdays from 2pm to 3pm at the Memorial hall and cost £5 per session.
