AID 2 AFRICA

The organisers of Aid 2 Africa still urgently require all your kind donations of adult and children's clothing and shoes, bedding and soft toys.

You can leave your items of clothing etc either at 13 Barnhall Road at any time, or take them along to the village hall on Wednesday evening between 7-8pm. There are very many poor villages in Lesotho, the country in African which the organisers of Aid 2 Africa support, and the winters there are surprisingly very cold, so they need everything that you can spare. This is an ongoing concern and items are always wanted. About four or five times a year large containers are packed by volunteers and dispatched to Africa with all your donations.

JAZZERCISE

For cardio, strength and stretch, go along to Jazzercise classes being held in the village hall on Thursday evenings between 6.15-7.10pm.

For more information please telephone Caroline on 07810 203021.

BINGO

Come along to the village hall every Wednesday evening and enjoy a game of Bingo.

There are always plenty of good cash prizes available, a flyer game is played and also a game where one lucky person can win a free bottle of wine. At half-time, refreshments are available and a raffle held.

Bingo starts promptly at 8pm.

Books cost £2 each, and you can have as many books as you wish.

The flyer game is £1 extra. All funds raised from these very popular Bingo sessions go towards the maintenance and improvement of the village hall. We look forward to seeing you and new faces are always very welcome.
