Jazz Night : Saturday 17th July

We enjoyed a fine evening for our 10th Jazz Night, this time with music and dancing to the New Orleans Jazz Band, and raised a magnificent £630 for the Church Restoration Fund.

Extra special thanks go to Irene Brearey for organsing it all once again - and for coming up with an alternative Jazz Band at such short notice. Irene has organised the Jazz Night for the last 10 years and we are very grateful to her for all her hard work over so many years.

 Thank you, too, to Colin Griffiths for the loan of the marquee, those who helped with setting up ,and to the many who came and supported the event.

  

Church Fete - June 12th

Thank you to all who helped make the fete such a successful and enjoyable day.  We raised the fantastic sum of £1,015.  Without the generous help and support of the village we would  not be able maintain our lovely medieval church as we do.

 

Plant Sale - Saturday May 1st

  Another record amount raised - over £740! Thanks to everyone who helped, contributed, brought and bought plants and produce which helped reach this magnificent sum. Special thanks to Pauline Smith and her team for organising it all.

  

  

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

FLOWER FESTIVAL : AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND

 

Thank you everyone for making this such a huge success ! We raised at least £4115 - a fantastic amount ! As usual very many people from the village pulled together and contributed in many different ways.

Thank you to all flower arrangers, those who helped Rita with the refreshments, stall holders and contributors, stewards , mowers , cleaners and a special thank you to Ouida Ascroft for master minding the flowers for the 17th time ! And it certainly pulled in the crowds thanks to its consistently good local reputation and high standards.

Thank you all for your support. 

    

Jazz Night

Our ever popular Jazz Evening raised a fantastic £570 towards church funds. A big thank you goes, as ever, to Irene and Mick Brearey for organising it.

THE ‘CHEESE AND WINE PARTY’ raised the fantastic sum of £455 towards the cost of flowers for the Flower Festival. Many thanks to all those who came to support this event and to those who contributed ‘in absentia’ too. By having enough money to pay for flowers in advance means that all money raised at the Flower Festival (August Bank Holiday weekend) will be profit. Thank you everyone.

RECORD AMOUNT RAISED AT THE PLANT SALE : SATURDAY 2nd May 2009 

Thank you to everyone who helped, contributed and supported this popular annual event on such a beautiful Spring morning; as a result we made a record £560 towards church funds.

Thanks go especially to Pauline Smith for organising it and contributing so many plants, Jan Himbury and Angie for doing the refreshments, Rita Emery for organising the raffle, Penny and Olivia Bint for running the cake and produce stall and William Holloway for his help and advice with plants.
