Our Hospitality Group are starting to plan their part for the Autumn Fayre on 26th October.
Home baking will be required so there is a list in the vestibule where you can add your name and what you will bake. We request that nuts, fresh cream and cheesecakes are not part of your ingredients.
Meanwhile we are now looking for volunteers to help with Tombola, Raffle, Cake and Candy and Bottle stalls on the day, and also someone with a trailer or van who might be able to transport tables.
There is an updated volunteer sheet in the vestibule so please add your name if you can help out, or speak to Christine, Beth or Dave.
