Curry Night Mark 3

Wow! We have just learned that Saturday night's fun-filled fundraising curry night raised £180. And we all had a ball into the bargain. Lynda and Steve as usual were excellent hosts, offering us the use of their lovely home and Martin and Caroline gave a unique childminding service! 14 of us crowded round the kitchen table and sat down to a feast of 5 different curry dishes, plus all the usual trimmings. Several bottles of wine and beer met with a happy end and the sound of laughter rang through the house until late in the evening. Thank you to everyone who came. You must recommend us to the staff at St Michael's; we are trying to persuade them to let us cook a curry for them too. And thanks of course to the Withers again. And to the Caldew Wanderers for cooking up such a mouthwatering menu!

Another Bun Fight!

We sold more teas and cakes to parents and friends of children in class 2 at school this afternoon. The children entertained us with interesting facts about different types of minibeasts and a few parents braved the elements and found their way through the school garden to the school house and were served with teas, buns and scones. Many thanks to Polly, Claire, Emily, Amy, James and Anthony from Class 5 for helping to set up and serve and to Diane and Nadia for all their help with the washing up and clearing away.

We raised £36.60 today. This brings our total to £1,405.10. We are doing a brilliant job everyone - just another eleven hundred pounds to go!

Afternoon Teas Rock (Buns)!

Serving teas and cakes to about 30 or so parents, grandparents and friends of Class 3 at St Michael’s yesterday afternoon was a pleasure . The sun was shining so we were able to use the school garden. James’ grandma sent in a delicious ginger cake which was added to 3 batches of buns and plates of sandwiches made freshly in school that afternoon. We sold squares from the Treasure Map and asked people to pay £1.50 for tea. Altogether we took £91.15, but we need to deduct £50 as prize money for the lucky squares. Many thanks to Claire, Emily, Polly and Rebecca from Class 5 for their help serving teas and biscuits.

Next Friday we’ll do the same thing all over again when Class 2 do their assembly for parents and friends. Meanwhile I’ll get my oven fixed!
