This year’s Puncknowle Garden Fete will be held on Saturday July 31st. Please put the date firmly in your diary now. Although it may seem some time away, now is the time to start freezing cakes, collecting toys, books, bric-a-brac – as well as planting seeds and taking cuttings so plants are ready to sell on the day. Many thanks to all those who have already offered to help. Contact Sue on 897953 if you’d like to get involved and make the fete a continuing success.
Children – start thinking about your fancy dress outfit for the parade from the hall to the Manor grounds. This year’s theme is “Puncknowle past and present”
To raise money for the Playing Field, we will again be having a cake stall at the Charter Fayre in Bridport on Saturday July 3rd. Contributions of as many cakes and biscuits to sell would be most gratefully received. The more money we can make the better play area we can have. Please let us have your cakes or buns by Friday July 2nd or we can collect. Help on the morning at the fayre would be much appreciated – it is quite a busy and fun atmosphere. Last year we made approx £130 – let’s see if we can do better this time! Contact Liz Slater on 897751.
