News
Saturday May 17th was our annual Plant and Produce Sale and it proved to be quite
a challenge this year. We were not short of visitors, plants, jam, cakes nor tea,
coffee and biscuits but we were short of electricity! There had been a short power
cut in the night affecting several parts of the village but by morning electricity had
been restored to most, still leaving about 160 properties. On enquiry we were told
that they were working on the problem and power would hopefully be restored any
time between 10.00 am and 2.00 pm. Not very helpful for us! However some quick
thinking saw us through with flasks of boiling water and kettles being boiled in nonaffected
parts of the village. Neighbours would, of course, have helped us out but
they were in the same predicament!
What started out as a daunting morning turned into a very successful one. We had
lots of visitors who came to buy, natter and admire our new windows, only finished
late on Friday night and we made a total of £360. As you know plants, jam and
marmalade are sold by church members throughout the year, much from the stall
outside Ladnek next to the shop. Since the last Plant and Produce Sale we have
raised a total of about £900 and we would like to thank all of you who continue to
support us, whether by coming to the sale, stopping at our stall or ringing us up with
specific requests. We are sorry that the grounds were not a bit tidier but you will
have noticed that the wall is now finished so the unused stone will soon be cleared
away.
