The Garden Sale on July 16th was a huge success. The sun shone, people were very generous with money, and lots of people helped: leafleteers, donators, loaners of tables and sunshades, putter-uppers and taker-downers, not to speak of the people who gave up hours to make and sell cakes, serve refreshments, and to take money. There was a very pleasant community atmosphere. We raised £1100 for Foodbank items. This will be carefully spent in blocs every fortnight, buying fresh food to supplement the canned and other goods you generously give.
