Past Events
The Meeting Place and Shop is run by a dedicated and willing group of volunteers. Most volunteers do a regular slot on a weekday of their choice and we all share a rota on Saturdays.Two volunteers manage the rota, others do the weekly shopping and others are committee members. Three or four times a year we have a volunteers’ lunch in a local pub and twice a year their is a volunteers’ coffee morning to share ideas and each other’s company. If you would like to join us please contact any one of the volunteers or any member of the committee. Anyone can come to a volunteers’ meeting if they want to.
The volunteers also get involved in other village activities. In December 2013 we helped out at the Christmas Bazaar in St John’s Church. We had our own stall of Christmas gifts for sale, the children were making paper chains and Christmas cards, constructing nativity scenes from kitchen and toilet rolls and old tea towels for head dresses, and much more besides. There was a dressing-up box which proved very popular and our Treasurer took photos of children, and sometimes parents as well, posing in front of the big Christmas tree. Each family was sent a Christmas card incorporating their own family photo. Altogether a great morning. You can see photos of the event here
A Xmas lunch was enjoyed by the Volunteers on 4 February 2014 at the Guinea. You can see photos here.

COFFEE MORNINGS
Another Volunteers’ Coffee morning was held on Tuesday 14th April, and Dorothy brought some of the cake featured as the May recipe, which she had made specially. Delicious! The volunteers were brought up to date on past events, planned ones and other matters. The next meeting will be on 13th October. Non-volunteers are always very welcome, so if your friends and neighbours would like to come – do bring them along.
Another Volunteers’ coffee morning was held on 14 Apr 15 and everyone enjoyed it. You can read Dorothy’s notes on what was discussed here.
