Thank you to everyone who supported Ringmer Village Library's bumper book and jigsaw sale on 11th April which raised a very useful amount for library funds. Lots of books and jigsaws changed hands, and people ate scones as if they were going out of fashion! One lucky Ringmer resident won two tickets to Glyndebourne in the raffle, thanks to the Glyndebourne team for their support.
