Just under a year ago All Saints Church launched its effort to ‘Raise the Roof’ and re-thatch the church. It has been wonderful that so many people have got behind this project and have been involved in fund-raising events, given donations and offered their ideas, time and enthusiasm to get this project off the ground. Thank you.
At the end of 2017 the total in the ‘restoration fund’ stood at £12,850 which included the balance from the donations received for the Christmas Eve service. So far in 2018 the following have been added:
New Year’s Day walk £262
January Afternoon Teas event £407
Other donations (including sale of T-shirts and Christmas cards) £95
Gift Aid tax refund £596
After meeting a small amount of expenses the total in the fund (as at mid-February) now stands at £14209.
A flavour of some of events coming up soon includes:
Bingo in the Church Rooms, Saturday 21 April – this regular event is being held for Raise the Roof this time.
An ‘Old Buckenham 10K run’ on Sunday 22 April – open to over 18s this event will be attracting runners from near and far. See the Village newsletter for more details. Helpers needed – please contact David Hannah or Celia Clarke.
‘Open gardens’ weekend on Saturday 30 June and Sunday 1 July. More willing garden owners needed, watch out for more details and hold the date in your diary. There will be teas, craft stalls, art/photography exhibition and plant sales too.
Contact Alison Hannah or any member of the ‘Raise the Roof’ group if you would like to get involved with the planning and running of any of our future events. Help always needed and welcomed.
