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

Hello Everyone

Hoping this finds you well The weather is poor just now however sadly, so it is becoming harder to do much out in our gardens, as the days shorten also. It is the time however when possible to tidy the garden, cut hedges, plant bulbs indoors and outside and wait for them to "pop up" in the Spring which will be so welcome. Also "rescue" any Geranium plants and other tender plants and take cuttings, and move them perhaps to a greenhouse if you have one for protection from frosts

We held our AGM last week, but sadly only a few people attended

We had the talk as planned after and it was kind of Kerry and Jason to host us at their lovely farm Thank you to those who attended

Phil Laimbeer resigned from his role as our Honey rep, but Fern and Graham Burgess are happy to take over this role so we welcome them into

the society ( Oliver will be amending our header here shortly) Thank you Phil for your support last year.

We are holding our Autumn Jumble Sale on 26th October at the village hall 50p entry and and we look forward to receiving your donations in the morning of the sale from 8am For those that require collection of donations Alan will be available to organise this just the week before as we have no storage

We will be planning outside visits and talks for next year soon and would value ideas from you all about where you would like to go and any talks The visits will need to be quite local, as we will be going by our own cars/ sharing Please let me have your ideas thank you.

I have attached a Poster of the Bohemia Walled garden in st Leonards who have an open day on 27th October All are welcome FREE entry

It is a small community garden and refreshments will be on hand.

I will keep you posted as we plan more for year ahead but we will be unable to hold the Christmas Quiz this year, but hope to plan a social evening for members nearer the season to enjoy so watch this space

Thank you

Alan says that this years subs are due please at just £5 per year if you wish to continue to be a member

Thank you all

Kind Regards
