Thank you - Grand Village Garage Sale
14th June 2008
THANKFULLY IT DIDN'T RAIN, well only about half a dozen drops, just enough to cause a panic and reach for the tarpaulin. A total of 15 took part, with 8 selling from their own garages and drives, and 7 with a car boot sale on the meadow opposite the thatched cottage in the High Street.
Much to our surprise, the first buyers arrived whilst the majority were still eating their breakfast. However, a good time was had by all, resulting in more space in garages and attics, and a total of £500 pounds raised for the MaryLoo Project.
A very big THANK-YOU to all the sellers and buyers.
Teas, Tombola and Nearly Sale
22nd June 2008
The sun shone, visitors were able to enjoy 8 wonderful different gardens and then come to the Vi9llage Hall. Tease and cakes were served, raising £78. A superb Tombola, which had to be replenished after the first hour raise £98, and the Nearly New Sale had a steady stream of customers, raising £230, making a total of £406.
Thank you to all who worked so tirelessly. There are far too many to mention by name, but YOU know who you are. Thank you also to those who came and supported the event.
As well as raising money for the MaryLoo Project, we all had an enjoyable afternoon with much fun and laughter, especially when my rather nice jacket nearly got sold for £5.
As previously mentioned,, the entrance money for the Open Gardens goes to the Village Garden Club, which will help keep it solvent.
