SOUP LUNCH: Thank you to everyone who supported the last soup lunch. Once again it was a fun event with a great atmosphere. We had even more people come along to taste one or more of the seven delicious freshly made soups and the naughty but nice desserts. Some went back for more than seconds which was good and we had very little left at the end of the day. Grateful thanks to everyone who came along and especially the amazing helpers. We raise £474 for the new window funds at the village hall.

BINGO: We were almost overwhelmed by the number of people who came along and supported the bingo last Sunday. We had to get out more tables and chairs and then ran out of bingo books and had to put a full sign on the door. We are really sorry if anyone turned up and couldn’t get in. There were whole families playing and winning the amazing prizes, for which we are extremely grateful to everyone who donated. Grateful thanks to Davina, Colin and Callum Swaine, Jilly Wingfield, Gill Saunders and Barry Taylor for all your amazing help. Also to Abbie Sharpington and Ella Keegan for their help on the day and collecting prizes. We really hope they have a great experience when the go to Paris at the end of the month. We raised £658 to make their dream come true. Thank you everyone who came along.
