Bottles urgently needed for St. Helen's bottle stall
Every year we hold a bottle stall at the St. Helen's Fayre on
the green to raise funds for St Helen's Church.
If you would be willing to contribute a bottle or two we would
be most grateful. Wine to champagne; ketchup to shampoo; if it
is unused, in date, and in a bottle we can use it to raise funds
for the Church restoration project. Any donations can be left at
the back of St. Helen's church or can be collected if you
contact Rose Gillett or John Kerslake. With many thanks in
anticipation.!
Cakes needed for St. Helen's stall!
Calling all bakers!!! Is there anyone who would be willing to
bake a cake or two for the St. Helen's Fayre on the green in
June? Any offers of help would be gratefully received! Rose
Gillett.
