We are holding a Mother’s Day stall on Friday 10th May. A note will be sent home next term. We will be having a gift wrapping morning on Tuesday 30th April from 9:00. If you have some spare time, would like a cuppa and some company as we wrap the Mother’s Day gifts please come along. If you can’t get there until 9:30, that’s fine. Everyone is welcome.

It was encouraging to see two new faces at our March meeting. Even if you can only make one meeting a year, please come along. You will be very welcome.

Our next meeting is Monday 20th May at 9:30.

Have a lovely Easter & holiday. P & C
