QUIZ NIGHT – Saturday 5th February. We must say a big thank you to everyone involved in making our quiz night the most successful yet.  These evenings really couldn’t take place without help from so many different people, particularly Paul and Sue Garland, everyone involved in catering and kitchen duties and Terry the school caretaker.  Of course we must also thank everyone who came along to support us too.  The hall was absolutely packed and we must apologise to anyone who went home a bit hungry, we hadn’t catered for such a huge number of people and the food had to be ‘stretched’ considerably!  The night made £810 which is quite remarkable!

QUIZ SHEETS – These are now available from Waterman’s, Spar, The Fish Piper, Central Garage and committee members and priced at £1.50 each (which includes marking and returning them to you). The closing date is 20th March, so don’t delay, get yours today!

EASTER FAIR – Sunday 24th April at Porter’s Barn – A great day for all the family to come along and have fun together. With lots to do for everyone of all ages.

If you are able to make a cake or donate anything for the raffle, a prize for any of the games or some bric-a-brac, we would be extremely grateful if you could get in touch. Full details of this event will be published next month.

PENNY JARS – These are still coming in so thick and fast they appear to be taking over our Chairman’s life!  Being a prolific sleepwalker she was recently found wandering in her sleep ‘looking for penny jars’!  However, her long-suffering other half was somewhat relieved as the last time she was asked what she was looking for in her sleep the rather worrying reply was ‘the box of knives’!!  Despite her rather bizarre antics she is still quite happy to keep receiving them so please don’t stop!

FUNDRAISING MERCHANDISE – Eco bags, tea towels and large blank cards featuring St. Mary’s are still available.  If you would like to make a purchase please pop into St. Mary’s.
