Many thanks to everyone who
made last Sunday’s opening such a good event! It was good to be able to
celebrate such an achievement. We look forward now to finding ways to share our
new facilities with the community.
Thank you too to Liz and
Paul for the wonderful gala evening last Saturday. Live music and a tasty
supper gave all who attended an enjoyable evening.
Harvest Queen Amy and her
retinue would also like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone for their support from
the many donations received to the gorgeous decorations made by the Sunday
School children to the cake bakers and helpers on the stalls to just being
there on the day. You all helped to make
their “At Home” such a special event. It
was lovely day filed with lots of special memories! THANK YOU J x
