Hello Everybody,

A HUGE thank you to everyone who assisted at and donated to our Jumble Sale this morning. Without your kind assistance, such an event would not have been possible. The helpers worked extremely hard to sort and sell a mountain of items! It seemed like a military operation at times, but it ultimately worked like clockwork. I am always amazed how quickly it all comes together, as we only have a few hours from start to finish. We are thrilled to report that we collected a total of £285.82, which is a fantastic amount to help fund our future events.

Our final event for this year will be our fun general knowledge Quiz Night in the lead-up to Christmas. This will be held on 22 November 2025 at Crowhurst Village Hall. Doors open at 7:15pm for a 7:30pm start. All are welcome to join. Teams of 4. Tickets are £8 per person for members and £10 for non-members, which includes wine, cheese and nibbles. For this event to be viable, we need 7 or 8 tables of 4 people pre-booked, so if you would like to come along, please call Alan on 07870525441.

To make the night even more fun, remember to join in our Christmas Hat competition. Come along sporting your best Christmas creation, which will be judged during the evening by Oliver. A prize will be awarded to the winner!

All the very best to you and we hope to see you at the Quiz!

Hello Everyone

Our Jumble Sale is on this Saturday and thanks so much for all of you that have offered help sorting and selling during the morning , which I anticipate being a busy one if all goes along as is usual

We have hit a bit of a problem in as much as we have no specific people/persons collecting the "left overs" at the end of the sale

We are hoping that some of you maybe kind enough to take a few bags at the end of the sale to take later to a charity shop of your choice from what is left ,that must be saleable otherwise shops refuse them nowadays.

Alan and I will fill up our cars and Alan's trailer as full as we can, and we will be taking as much as we can to donate ourselves, but as we have no storage available and had hoped someone would agree to collect items as left , I am left concerned and so hope you may all kindly consider taking at least a few items as that will ensure we can clear the hall by 11.30

We are always strict about sorting all as it arrives in anyway each sale, so please ensure this time we are strict about doing this right through the morning and reject any thing that is damaged/soiled/stained/broken and then thrown them out so at the end we are not left sorting through again but just packing

If you have any queries about items you find and wonder what to do with please just ask myself or Alan

Thanks so much all of you do and sorry to ask for this extra help if it is possible please.

So appreciate all your support/help

Thank you and see you all at the hall from 8am Saturday

Doors will open to sell at 09.30 prompt

Note - Best probably if you need to leave early to park your car out by the roadway not in the car park where poss. for a quick escape !

Kind Regards
