FLOWER PLANTING IN THE VILLAGE
We are in the initial stages of organising a joint
effort with St. Mary’s Primary School,
Brookeborough PTA to plant bulbs/ flowers in
the village.
We also would like to enlist
grandparents help with the planting in this event.
Together with the children we hope to come up
with some interesting ideas.
OUR THANKS
The, ‘Pudding Night’ in December raised £656.50.
We were delighted with this. There was a huge
range of homemade desserts kindly donated by
parents and friends. Anyone with a ‘sweet tooth’
certainly had lots of choice.
We are very grateful to Mr Paul Williamson, from
The Valley Hotel, for judging our pudding
competition. Congratulations went to Mrs Elaine
Dunn for her delicious sticky toffee pudding. Many
thanks to local businesses and stall holders who
generously provided prizes for the night. Thanks
also to Mrs Hazel Cuthbertson from Pampered Chef
for an enjoyable pudding demonstration.
