It all started when Con Packford phoned and said “Would you take on the Red Cross coffee morning”. At that time it was held at Vera Thomas house and she did most of the arranging so I said “Yes”. Then Vera moved and the Chipperfield Cricket Club became a good central venue until last year, when access became limited. Then we were made very welcome at the Baptist Hall. John and I have some good memories over the last 10 years – Nell Berners Price dispensing coffee with a smile, Alec Cibula out in the cold selling his marvellous plants, Bill Fenning with her enthusiasm for selling raffle tickets, to name but a few – but all the helpers over the years have been marvellous and we could not have run it without them. This year we made £392.
Now we think the time has come for someone new to take over the Red Cross coffee morning. A very worthwhile cause and you would get help! If there is someone willing out there please phone 263920 for a chat. E. Foulgham
