Quiz Night results

Wonderful to see 15 quiz teams filling the Village Hall for the Friends of St Lawrence Church Quiz and Ploughman’s Supper. Once again a lovely atmosphere and the quiz master didn’t get lynch so the questions must have been OK! The winners this year were a team from Bradfield called “The Windy Millers.” A big thank you to the catering team for supplying a wonderful supper, the marking team for keeping everything under control and the raffle team for organising the draw. The event raised £1,171 which will be put towards two major projects being discussed with the PCC of St Lawrence Church Bradfield.

Thank you all for your support, and for the great clear up job at the end of the evening!

Summer BBQ

What a lovely afternoon! Good weather, beautifully barbecued pork, chicken and sausages together with a wonderful selection of salads and great company. Plenty of food, and we still had room for the fantastic selection of sweets. Thank you Liz and Brian for organising a lovely event which raised £645 for funds. Also, thank you to those people who stayed behind to take down tents and move chairs and tables…..all without being asked

Garden Fete June

The Garden Fete together with some generous donation raised just over £1539

The weather on the last Sunday in June has always turned out well for our fundraising events and we have been doing them for many, many years! It was lovely to see people enjoying themselves as they browsed the stalls or chatted with their mugs of tea in hand. Lovely to see the children also enjoying themselves.

These events are very hard work, not only on the day, but in the preparation and the clearing up, so I must say a very special thank you to the many people who worked so hard to prepare goods for the stalls, who carried tables, chairs, tents, plants and books around Bradfield and helped put them into place------ and cleared up afterwards! Thank you to everyone who supplied Bric a Brac and books and wonderful cakes cooked through the red heat alert!!!! It is lovely to work with other organisations, so thank you Bradfield WI for cake supplies and to members of Mistley Church for supplying tents and helping to put them up. It was also nice to have our local Knit and Natter running a stall. a few pictures in the gallery.

Ladies Breakfast

Our thanks to Ray and Heather who produced a wonderful breakfast for the ladies, which was severed by members of the Men’s Breakfast Group. The meal was followed by a humorous talk by Paul Smith. The event raised £261 for Friends funds
