Open on Saturdays
Getting To Know You with Fund Raising Events
‘Open on Saturdays’
Each Saturday morning a group of volunteers open the clubhouse.
Homemade cakes are regularly donated by Wendy Aitcheson, Jackie Wagland, Evelyn Stevens and Wendy Loader
Wendy A. and Jackie run the catering and ensure a friendly reception to all of our customers, some of whom are allotment members and others from the general public.
Plants, produce and other interesting items for sale are given by members and handed to the sales team (that’s George Pentecost, Mike Stevens and Tom Greenaway) to persuade customers to part with their money.
Many of you look forward to sitting down with a cup’n’cake and having a chat with plot neighbours. This is the place where a shared order for dung or something sweeter is suggested and arranged. Please do give it a try. Meanwhile, a sincere thank you to those of you who donate, give your time on a Saturday morning and of course our customers.
The weekly proceeds are used to finance the Annual Show and also to provide equipment/ refurbishments to the clubhouse and the social activities.
Wendy A. maintains the accounts for the Annual Show and Tom G. maintains the accounts for the social fund. These accounts are audited by your Society Treasurers, Adrian and Cheryl Martin.
Full details of the Social Accounts are posted on the clubhouse notice board.
