The coffee morning today hosted by Jane, Jacky and Carol raised £141 for the RNLI. A good number attended and it was nice to see some old friends who have been missing. It was lovely to catch up with Christine Wheeler, a former member who came along with Sue from Kingsbury. There were some good raffle prizes and lovely cakes to sample.
Despite a quiet attendance the coffee morning with some of our regulars missing; today raised £120 for British Heart Foundation.
A small number joined us for a special coffee morning to specifically support Christian Aid week. Envelopes are still available and can be returned to most village pubs and the station stores once filled. A total of £224 was raised for Christian Aid between the coffee morning and the envelopes to date.
![]() A good attendance at the coffee morning. We were well supplied with home made cakes by Fiona, Mary and Rosemary. The raffle prizes too seemed on a higher level so we were glad to raise £144.50 for Bees Abroad. This charity trains farmers and their wives in Africa to care for their bees.They are essential for pollination and also provide an alternative income to villagers. Met today to raise £100 for Barnabas Aid. A good crowd arrived to spend the morning chatting and discussing events and interests. Xavier was part of the team today contributing towards his Scouting badge. Here is what you missed. A good crowd this morning with some new welcome faces from Weymouth. Judy was brought up in Shustoke and she and Ray have returned to the vicinity they love. We hope to see them again.
There were lots of great raffle prizes to be won and luscious cakes thanks to Anne, Jacky and Jane. The sum of £120 was raised for our Methodist Church funds . Our next fund raising event for the Chapel is a fish and chip supper with Quiz, on Saturday March 9th. Tickets are £11.50 each from Jill. Quite a relatively quiet affair with perhaps many still away or back at work of course. However we still raised £90 to support Alzheimers who are working towards a world where dementia not longer devastates lives. Cakes and a raffle were still enjoyed and at least the weather seemed drier and more pleasant today than the wet downpours of late.
A good crowd attended this morning raising £121 for the Salvation Army. Our hosts Evelyn, Pauline and Phil and there were lots of raffle prizes and homemade cake and biscuits to enjoy.
Coffee morning today for Greenfingers, £110 was made. A few more there than the last couple of months. Lovely refreshments including Fiona’s famous meringues. Fiona decorated the tables for Remembrance,with red poppies she had crocheted. They looked great and were sold afterwards contributing further to the total of £121.
The new chapel chairs look very smart. Not a bad turnout for today’s coffee morning, although we can always accommodate more people. We managed to raise £93 for Arthritis UK. Everyone enjoyed Elizabeth’s homemade scones with jam and cream. Thanks to Lewis for his help with the washing up.
