This year there is to be a gardens open day in the village which is to take place on Sunday 13th July. It will be two years since such an event was held. The day is going to be organised again jointly by the church and the village hall committee.
Volunteers are needed to open their gardens, however large or small, to the public. Many of the garden owners who opened their gardens last time have offered to do so again and we thank them for this. If you would be willing to open your garden this time or know someone who might agree then please let us know.Not all back gardens are appropriate to be opened in this way so we would welcome those with attractive front gardens who would be happy to have folk admire their handy work to also offer their gardens.
The village hall committee will be organising the sale of refreshments for the benefit of hall funds and all other money raised will go to the church. In 2012 the event raised over £1,000 for church funds despite the afternoon being (like the rest of the summer) damp and cool.
If you are willing to offer your garden or want any more information please contact or speak with Collin Mansfield at collin4mansfield@homecall.co.uk or 07740 447858 or to any of the organising committee, Audrey Ireland, Rhian Peters, David Walker or Jennifer Ball.
