A very successful and fun afternoon was held at Bougham Farm last weekend. There was tasty pulled pork in a bun with an array of delicious salads and sauces, finishing with wonderful puddings, all of which were enjoyed by a large number of villagers and visitors.

We all enjoyed the quiz trying to identify who was who from old photographs. The raffle and bottle raffle were also very successful.

Thank you to Kate Hart who allowed us to invade her house and garden, to all the helpers, to those who donated items, and to everyone who attended.

A magnificent total, after expenses, of £1380.14 was raised which will be a huge boost in assisting necessary repairs to the church, and making sure we can continue to offer warm hospitality to our village community.

Even though the weather has become considerably warmer, the friendly social aspect of our Warm Welcome in St Petrock’s will continue. Thanks to our volunteers, this will run every Thursday in June and July until the end of the school term. If you have not yet dropped in for a cuppa and some cake between 10am – 12 noon on a Thursday morning, please do so and you will be pleasantly surprised. There is no charge for refreshments.
