TOMBOLAS – We are very grateful for the donations of prizes we have received for our spring/summer tombolas. We are now collecting prizes for the run up to Christmas. We welcome donations of toiletries, unwanted gifts, chocolate/biscuits, assorted general items – provided they are new, in good condition and in date where applicable.
We are planning a children’s teddy tombola at the Craft Fair on 30th November if you have any soft toys you would like to donate. All items must be in a good, clean condition and from a smoke free home.
Prizes can be given to Cheryl Steele or left in the church – please just put a note on to say they are tombola prizes and leave them on the back pew, nearest the main door. Thank-you!
