We also need lots of stock for all the Fete stalls.

A reminder about our regular coffee mornings:
Coffee mornings take place on the first Tuesday of each month, from 10:30am to 11:45am. All are welcome in the relaxed atmosphere, and they provide a good opportunity for residents to meet and greet their neighbours – new arrivals especially.
