Really lovely evening. Everybody joining in with singing and Brian’s humour creating laughs. He sang a tribute to Mavis, who loved these evenings and ended the event with Christmas carols and festive songs. A total of £195 was made for church funds.

Twenty two shoeboxes were taken to the midland collection point for the charity "Link to Hope" These were checked over and along with a further extra £30 in donations will ensure that the boxes make their way to Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania and Ukraine.  Around 300 people visited the gardens in Whitacre. Saturday made £644.50 and Sunday raised nearly triple that amount raising £1780.50. The grand total of £2425 will be split between Air Ambulance and our local Methodist Church.
Thanks are due to our gardeners, our cake makers, and stewards who all contributed to the grand result. We could not have asked for better weather. A lovely sunny weekend allowed many to enjoy the twelve or more gardens open to view. Refreshments sold well with a wide range of cakes. Did you buy a plant to take home? We thank all those who opened their gardens and helps their visitors. Can you spot the houses these flowers were seen in? Brian came and sang for us and the concert was a big success raising a total of £180 to church funds. Thank you to all who attended enjoying a splendid evening and especially to Brian for entertaining us again.
 A grand total of over £350 was raised after a busy morning, serving the Big Breakfast. Our thanks to all those who attended and especially our servers and cooks.
Both our toilets are now twinned with the toilet twinning charity who have sent us our certificates. So next time you go to the loo take your google maps with you on the phone and look up our twin loo! We have collected together all the ring pulls we have been collecting over the past year ready to send off for forwarding to the Purple Community Fund. A lovely large box is being delivered this week as its too heavy to post.  Peter Tonks lead our family morning service celebrating the JMA collectors. Our thirteen collectors have raised a total of £117.70. Thanks to our collectors Sophie, Ella, Xavier, Ruby, Frank, Layla, Cameron, Noah, Edie, Harriet, James, Charlotte and James. |
