Open Morning on 3rd May

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!
