The coffee mornings in March will be on Wednesdays 8th and 22nd from 10 – 12 noon in the Village Hall. During our fundraising coffee morning on March 22nd the choir from our village school will be singing for us, there will be a raffle and all proceeds will be donated to the school so please come along and support the children. A huge thank you to everyone who gave so generously to our coffee morning on February 8th – due to the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria it was decided to donate all proceeds from that morning to the DEC Red Cross Appeal. A total of £130 was collected and donated online for which a letter of thanks has been received.

We look forward to seeing you on the 8th and 22nd March for our usual tasty offerings of delicious homemade cakes, teacakes, sausage rolls, tea, coffee and hot chocolate. It’s a great opportunity to chat to other people in the village whilst enjoying a hot drink and a slice of homemade cake!
