Hello Everyone

Thank you all very much indeed to all of you who supported us at our very pretty little Spring Flower Show held at the village hall yesterday Great Day !

The sun shone luckily for us and the day was very successful

All made for a welcoming and warm, happy atmosphere with many visitors coming to view the lovely entries in the afternoon Also very much enjoying the tasty refreshments served kindly by Tim and Penny all afternoon

There was such a lovely spring scent in the hall from the stunning spring flowers arising from the mass of wonderful yellow shades and varieties of Daffodils Hyacinths Narcissi etc The hall looked stunning ! Thank you all so much indeed

We loved the variety of all flowers and plants on show, alongside the wonderful Hellebores which is a class we introduced only last show and are so pleased we did They are amazing , so very pretty and so many varieties on show -Wow - They looked stunning and thanks so much for supporting these new classes

Thanks so much for all the lovely entries It was great to also see the handicrafts entries made this show - such skills amongst you all - well done and thank you for showing/sharing your talented makes

The cookery entries were a bit low but still offered a lovely tasty displays and we hope to get these classes improved in future

We would still love more children's entries across the board generally as we are always low on these too but it is great; as is usual to have the Brownies, Rainbows and Playgroup supports with their inspiring entries

Thank you so very much indeed for all you do to support us We are very grateful to you all as we always say without your input/entries/supports no shows could be put one

Congratulations to all prize and trophy/certificate winners

We had double the number of entries at this show ,than last year so that was very encouraging and we so hope we can maintain this standard and dare I say enhance perhaps these numbers even more with all you help at future shows !!!

Thank you so much

Good Morning all

Wanting to thank you all so much for helping us run the massive Jumble Sale we held yesterday at the village hall It was a great success - very busy but fun !

We had loads of wonderful donations - more I think than we ever had before ! Maybe the delay of dates due to earlier problems at the hall helped us??? (although I am not keen for that to happen again if poss.)

We so appreciate all the kind volunteer helpers and sellers on the morning who were kept very busy THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH

Also to all the many donations we obtained - many of which came on the morning which so helped reduce Alan's trips for collections which all helps

Our next event will be our pretty Spring Flower Show to be held at the VH on 16th March Schedules are FREE to download off the website but if anyone would like a hard copy please let me know Free to members and just 50p to non-members

See you soon Enjoy any Sprig like days we hope to get soon and get out and beginning to tidy your gardens and plant a few seeds for later Also enjoy all the beautiful Crocus Snowdrops and Daffodils flowering just now alongside so pretty flowering trees Magical !So pretty and so good to see life arising form the earth after a long wet miserable winter !

Have Fun1

Alan will be totalling up the coffers soon - we were so tired yesterday so never achieved that as yet We are sure we beat last years totals so THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN We could not do all this without such kind and generous people like yourselves
