Hello Everybody,
Firstly, a huge 'Thank You' to all of those who supported
the Pamper Evening in any way, last Thursday. It made around £400, which will
be verified when David (SVA Treasurer) is back from his Indian hols. Along with
the collection that the Friday Group has been making over the past few months,
this will go towards paying for the batteries and a few new additions, to our
Christmas lighting. The evening was very successful, and will certainly be repeated
next year, as all therapists, stall holders and those 'pampered', have made it
clear that they would llike to have more of the same. So... watch this space!
We have a reasonable group of able bodied young men, who
have either volunteered, or been press ganged, into helping Annie and Sylv (our
first volunteers as seen in September's Advertiser), to get the lights up in
the High Street and on the green, home zones, etc. However, if you (and a
ladder), are free on the morning of Saturday December 1st from 10am, you will
be very welcome to join us and help.We are hoping to partake in some bacon
sarnies when the work is done!
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Charlie of
Charlie's Pilates, which takes place in the Village Hall on Tuesday mornings
from 9.15 - 10.30. This is a great addition to the regular activities which
take place in the village. To book your place, and pay, on a week by week
basis, please visit her website, charliespilates.
We have an addition to the events for this month as well.
The residents at Lavender Fields, our new care home on Seal Road (near the
recreation ground), will be holding their first Christmas Fayre on ThuRsday
November 22nd from 11am - 3pm. Thios is taking place in their cafe, and you
will be able to purchase cards, gifts, toiletries, books, decorations and
Sheila and Dot's Christmas crafts. Please do visit, support and get to see this
wonderful facility for yourself! By the way, I am still compiling a list of
potential volunteers to help out with various activities at Lavender Fields. If
you are interested, please contact me.
Another addition, is that the Seal Cubs and Beavers
Christmas Fair on December 1st, are asking if anybody would like to hold a
stall for their own organisation at a cost of £10 per stall.They are also still
looking for some extra help for their own stalls. If you can help with either,
please contact Helen at Melonseal@yahoo.co.uk.
