The Coffee Morning in aid of the Children’s Society held on Saturday 2nd November in church was a great success and although there was not a huge turnout, we have raised a staggering £500.00 and the total is still rising! This was my first event as the new group co-ordinator and I would like to thank everyone for their support, both those that helped on the morning; namely Joy Harman, Betty Mitchell and Liz Wombwell, those that kindly baked cakes to sell and to everyone that gave upa little bit of their weekend to come and help us raise money for a very good cause. Those who came were obviously incredibly generous as is evident in the amount raised. There are some packets of chrlstrnas cards left and I will be selling them over the next few Sundays after the l O arn services. Also, there is a full christmas card and gift cataglogue available if anyone would like to see the full range of cards. If you would like an order done on your behalf please do speak to me on 01306 71 1449 or email me on slc@ansford.me.uk The event was such a success that I will be aiming to do a couple of fund raisers a year in addition to the Christingle service and the house collection boxes. If anyone would like to have a box at home, please do contact me. The next fundraising event for the Children’s SOCiety in Capel will be the Christingle Service which we will be holding at St John the Baptist, Cape] on Sunday 2nd February 2014, probably at the lOam service -but please check the published service times in this magazine in due course. Once again … a HUGE thank you to everyone that helped make it a success!
