Coffee Morning Thank You!

 A huge thankyou to all of you who turned up to help at the Coffee Morning on Saturday. Wendy and I were astonished and grateful for the enormous number of cakes that were donated. I was thrilled that enough strong men turned up to get the Guy out of Clink, a big thankyou to John Drew for the chauffeur service…and thankyou to all who carried in the boxes of books, bric a brac and china, and helped to tidy up afterwards.
A fun morning was had by all and we raised an excellent amount to help fund the 5th, and are planning to do a further vintage coffee morning next Spring.

What’s on for 2013

lbs-keep-calom-a5-1-0 It may only be January, but already we are planning ahead for what will happen this year. I can confirm that we at Lindfield Bonfire Society intend to hold our Bonfire Event this year on November 5th (I’m sure that’s no surprise to you). To allow us to do this we must continue fundraising throughout the year.

First on the list will be our 2014 Lindfield Village Calendar. Are you or your business able to sponsor a month, put forward a photograph for inclusion or wish to stock the calendar? If so, please get in touch and let us know. Our deadline for sponsorship and artwork is the 1st March 2013, if you wish to get involved now is the time to let us know.

We are also planning a number of other fund raising events in the Village in the coming months as well as hopefully being involved in the Lindfield Arts Festival and Village Day, so please keep an eye on our website for updates on what is happening.

Don’t forget that without your support we cannot make Bonfire Night happen, so please help us by joining our Society and support our fundraising activities!
