10th May.
We organise a Pop up Cafe in the Reading Room over both weekends and we need the help of
volunteers to make this work.
- We need people to set up and clear away tables in the Reading Room this would be on Friday 1st May and clearing away on the last day of each weekend.
- To wash and iron the tablecloths after each weekend
- Flowers for the tables and an arrangement for the back of the Hall and the cake table. (these can be very simple , no need for anything extravagant)
In the past the organisers have done all of these jobs as well as working, shopping and making
cakes etc.
Over the years we have become victims of our own success and are very busy and need some
more help.
The shifts for each day we are looking to cover are:
- 11-1.30 2 people
- 12-2.30 4 people
- 14.30-17.00 3 people
This applies to all days. Therefore we are looking for 45 shifts to be covered.
We are also asking for people to make cakes- again we are looking for about 50 cakes to be
donated.
If more people help this makes life easier for all.
If you are unable to bake we would appreciate donations for food or to provide an item of food
for a session.
Over the years Art Weeks has raised over £25,000 for the Village. ( Last year it raised £2,736 ).
Any money raised is spent only in the Village as we do rely on the generosity of the Village to
raise the money for the majority of the food and making the cakes. We also hope you will pop
down for Coffee, Lunch or Afternoon Tea.
The Community Fund has supported many things over the years from a new carpet in the
Church and Funding to celebrate Special Occasions in the Barn for which we have had over
175 Villagers attend.
This year alone we have supported the following:
- Men's Night
- Refreshments after the Remembrance Service
- Leaving do for Maureen our lovely Vicar
- Flowers for the Church
- New Floor for the Reading Room Kitchen
- Broadband for the Reading Room.
The Community Fund is available to any villager who would like to set up a group in the Village.
Now we have Broadband it would be easy, for instance, for people to organise a Movie Night.
If you can help with providing any of the above, please contact me Pam Smith on

This all looks rather daunting but if everyone could contribute this shares the load.
Just to add that people who join in say how much they enjoy it and for new people it is a great
way to meet your fellow villagers.
Best Wishes
