We are having an open morning on Saturday 3rd May from 9.30am till 1pm, and we hope plenty of people will come and sample what we're offering: a range of local Surrey and Sussex produce, including ice cream from St Joan's Farm in Leigh (which we shall offer by the cone as well as tubs - so we hope the weather improves!), newspapers, local eggs, croissants, sweets, cakes etc. We are asking people to donate to this by providing us with home-made and home-grown produce (we understand allotment produce can be donated but not sold by the grower), good quality magazines, books, CDs and DVDs, and plants - both seedlings and divided perennials to help with everyone's spring planting. So please - get baking and growing! We'll also be serving tea and coffee and fruit juices. Hopefully this will become a regular event in the fund-raising months.
We have been donated a large bake-off oven from a shop in Burgess Hill (just need to figure out how to plumb it in!), and we are hoping to receive some other equipment shortly. The committee has been a bit depleted during the Easter hols but hopefully everyone will return full of vigour!
Share applications keep coming in - we're up to approx £12600 - and Leigh Residents Association have made a generous donation - thankyou all so much!
