     What do you remember about the year that is (WAS) 2024? The Post Office scandal! A new government!
     Euro 2024, Olympic and Paralympic games, extreme weather, riots, public enquiries and more scandals!

  • Team hats / colours / fancy dress / Christmas jumpers encouraged but not obligatory

     May I thank everyone who joined us for our coffee morning in November, in aid of Breast Cancer Now! We raised      £776 - an amazing amount which I have added to all the other fund-raising events held in 2024. I am delighted        to be able to send a cheque for the grand total of £3500.
