March coffee morning

6/3/2025

A lovely morning and some delicious home made cakes from Evelyn. It was good to see her and Mike. Pauline and Phil worked hard to keep people’s cups continually refreshed and £137 was raised for Hillside Animal Sanctuary. There was a bit of trouble getting into Cottage Lane but people were very patient and the lorry driver came inside to make a contribution to our charity because he said we were so pleasant compared to some who had verbally abused him!
The daffodils on the tables were very pretty and cheered everyone as they came inside.

August coffee morning

About 30 people attended coffee morning raising money for our own Chapel. It was very hot so many customers didn’t feel like eating cake but drank copious amounts of tea and coffee instead. A short quiz was held and each table had to make words of 4 letters or more, out of PERIMETER. Netty’s table won a free raffle ticket!
