Dates for your Diary

Summer Fete Saturday 27th June 1.00-4.00pm on the School Field.

Please put the date in your diary. This is a joint venture, Parish and School
working together to raise much-needed funds.
We need as many helpers as possible to help organise, prepare, and/or
work on the day, and to clear up afterwards. If we have a rota of helpers no
one needs to be working all day, and there should be time to join in the fun
as well.
There is a list in the porch today for names of volunteer helpers and a box
for reply slips, which are printed on the newsletter.
There is also a big box next in the porch for donations of gifts for the
Tombola, Children's Tombola and the various stalls and games. No jumble
or bric-a-brac thank you!
Cakes, home produce and plants are always best sellers, so bakers and
gardeners, please keep the date in mind.
If anyone can sponsor the Bouncy Castle, or sweets and prizes for the
children, we will be very grateful.

Future Plans
