December Newsletter

Hello friends

I’ve just got back from two weeks of sunshine and blue skies in Gran Canaria so I’m looking out at the rain and sulking. Thank goodness I have our meeting next week to look forward to. 

Thursday December 14th
This year our Christmas shindig is going to take the form of an old-fashioned children’s party, complete with a magician, pass the parcel, jelly and ice cream and a balloon modelling competition. I always like to know what food will be on offer so I can manage my expectations and eat accordingly before I turn up. If you are like me and need this information, bring a small amount of appetite with you as there will be snacks but not a full meal’s worth. Hope that helps!

We will also be doing our ever popular jam jar tombola. The more jars the merrier so please grab an empty receptacle and fill it with anything you fancy. Then also bring a pound with you to enter the tombola and get a jar back. All proceeds to Trinity 

Talking of Trinity, donations are always very gratefully received for the food bank or the community fridge, Given the time of year it would be lovely if we could manage a really good sized food donation.

January meeting
Mark Francis, a quarter finalist from Sewing Bee (not Mark Francois, the Tory MP for Rayleigh, unless something has gone badly wrong) will be coming to talk about his experience of being on national television and judging our efforts from our transformation challenge earlier this year. He doesn’t know about the judging so it will be a lovely surprise for him!

See you next week in your party frocks. Such fun!

Much love

Vanessa
