Summer Show
Saturday 27th June
CAN YOU HELP US TO HELP THE HOSPICE OF ST FRANCIS?
At our Spring Show on 28 March, Debbie Oastler, a member of our Committee, baked and sold cakes and the proceeds were donated to the Hospice of St Francis. As this was the largest Spring Show we had had since Covid and was also the largest number of visitors we had experienced for many years too, we did not realise how much seating would be required for tea and cakes and some visitors to the Show were unable to find seating so were disappointed.
Debbie has volunteered to make and sell cakes in aid of the Hospice of St Francis at our Summer Show on 27 June 2026. This time, we plan to devote an area beside the main door to the Memorial Hall as additional seating for tea and cakes, however, as we only have a small Committee and several members will be needed to calculate prizes/points and others to prepare tea and coffee, we really need additional help. Can you help to clear tables or help with the washing up or even contribute a homemade cake? Once again, all proceeds from the sale of cakes will be donated to the Hospice of St Francis. We really do need your help to raise as much money as we can for the Hospice.
In addition, we will have a table of plants for sale, the proceeds for which will also be donated to the Hospice.
If you are able to help or have spare plants please contact our Summer Show Secretary, Glynis Tustin on 01442 833883.
