DAFFODIL PLANTING

Posted on by

UPDATE OCTOBER 2017

ON SATURDAY 21ST OCTOBER OVER A DOZEN VOLUNTEERS TURNED UP TO ASSIST WITH THE PLANTING OF 1500 DAFFODIL BULBS BY PETER’S PATCH AND AT THE BOTTOM OF CHURCH WAY. PHOTOS SHOWING THEM WORKING HARD ARE ON OUR “PHOTOS” PAGE. 

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THESE DAFFODILS  IN BLOOM NEXT SPRING.

THANKS GO TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS FOR THEIR SUPPORT, AND TO THE PEOPLE WHO PROVIDED REFRESHMENTS FOR THESE HARD WORKING GANGS.

SPECIAL THANKS MUST GO TO ANNE JONES, WHO INSTIGATED THE PLANTING IN THE FIRST INSTANCE, AND IS THE FORCE BEHIND THIS YEAR’S OPERATION.

 

COFFEE MORNING 2ND OCTOBER 2017

Posted on by

THE COFFEE MORNING ON 2ND OCTOBER WAS ATTENDED BY AT
LEAST 60 PEOPLE. STANDING ROOM ONLY. TESTAMENT TO THE POPULARITY OF OUR ASSOCIATION AND OUR SPECIAL GUEST, PRABHA PATEL.

PAUL & PRABHA WILL BE RETIRING FROM “TOP SHOP” IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

LIZ AND ANDY GAUSDEN ORGANISED A PLANTER WHICH WAS PRESENTED TO PRABHA WITH OUR VERY BEST WISHES.

PAUL & PRABHA HAVE PROVIDED AN INVALUABLE SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY FOR THE LAST 19 YEARS, AND THEY WILL BE SORELY MISSED. IT IS GOOD TO NOTE THAT THEY WILL BE LIVING IN THE VICINITY AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL NOW BE ABLE TO ATTEND OUR SOCIAL FUNCTIONS.

WE WISH PAUL & PRABHA A VERY LONG AND HAPPY RETIREMENT.

PRABHA ALSO HANDED A CHEQUE TO LIZ, AS A VERY GENEROUS DONATION TO OUR RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION, WHICH WAS ACCEPTED WITH MUCH GRATITUDE.

AS EVER OUR SINCERE THANKS GO TO PETER & JULIE AT THE BOLD DRAGOON FOR PROVIDING TEAS, COFFEES, BISCUITS, AND FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT.

LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, SPECIAL THANKS TO LIZ FOR ORGANISING THE EVENT IN HER OWN INIMITABLE STYLE, AND FOR HER ONGOING COMMITMENT TO OUR SOCIAL EVENTS.
