Hello all of you

Hoping you are not finding this cold spell too hard. It suddenly changed after a lovely bright early November which is hard to adjust to now.

Had a few lovely walks lately and enjoyed the beautiful colours of the trees - stunning this year as they slowly fell but have almost completed now and I loved the pretty carpets of leaves as they laid. The annoying bit is clearing them up in the garden, and keeping paths clear but they help composting our plants so all have their purpose and waste not want not !

I have planned a couple of Garden visits for next year - fairly local but dates as yet are to be agreed but hopefully they will confirm dates I have requested which will be in warmer times and I will let you know when they are fully confirmed Members will go free as usual, as the society will pay for those from funds, but all are welcome to attend but we will be charging a small fee for them Travelling by car will be the plan

Meanwhile have been trying to plan a Christmas meet-up/social for members

I have come up with the idea of going to the White Hart in Catsfield on their Curry nights. They have these on a Monday evening and the society would pay for the meal and one drink for members only but if friends/partners wish to come along also they would require to pay £10 each pls.)

Please let me know what you think asap as I require numbers to book it.

I would ideally like to arrange this for 23rd December (as Oliver can then be will us -as he misses so many of our events) But if that does not suit the 9th Dec.or16th Dec can be arranged

PLEASE LET ME KNOW

Thank you and keep warm take care of each other

Hello to you all

Sadly it rained again this morning, but despite this we held a lovely, busy; but fun morning at the Jumble Sale

It was a great sale and a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who donated and purchased from us and also all you very hard working helpers

You all worked so well and clearing the donations at the start of the morning and packing at the end ran like clockwork The many donations were cleared so swiftly that we could relax a little and have a cuppa before our customers all arrived !!! Wow!

We could not have done it without all you kind assistance and time

We have only just got home so later Alan will total up the monies

THANK ALL YOU ONCE MORE

Also special thanks to Phil Laimbeer who so vey kindly took all the "unsold" items for us in his van - much appreciated Phil.

Alan and I also were able to donate a few items to local charity shops who welcomed them with open arms!

The Fayre committee will be donated the many left over books for their stall at the Fayre next year Hope it helps their funds too.

After the sale Alan and I prepared the Horti. trough at the church with lovely red poppies and fresh Rosemary plants (alongside a copy of the famous poem) for this year's remembrance day on 11/11/24.

Take a look when you pass by and look out for details of the church service to support this day.

Keep in touch

Kind Regards
