COFFEE MORNING

COFFEE MORNING : Our Back to School Coffee Morning was declared an outstanding success. Shortly after the school bell rang to announce the start of the school year the newly bereft parents started to drift towards the main hall of the Community Resource Centre. Before long there was a full house enjoying tea, coffee, cake and chat galore. The fabulous display of locally made art, craft and paintings attracted much admiration.  Thanks to everyone who attended and made a donation to our funds and of course special thanks as always to the organisers. Hopefully this will now be an annual event.
