tropical-flower-arrangementFlower Arranging & Floristry Classes

After the success of our first Class, we will be holding our second in the series of 4 seasonal Master Classes on Saturday, 3rd July. This will again be held @ 10am in St Stephens, Gt Wigborough. Each Class consists of 2 hours – 1 hour of flower arranging and 1 hour of floristry and will be limited to 12 people so book your place early and come and enjoy the fun. Not only did we learn but it was good opportunity to catch up & chat with people we have not seen for a while & also meet new people. There will also be a small sales table.

The cost is £20.00 including refreshments. We would ask that a non-refundable deposit of £10.00 be paid before the day to avoid buying flowers unnecessarily.

Contact Sue on 735607 or Annette on 735526 for further details.

Sponsored Walk – 25th July 2010

Peldon Village Hall Management Committee are organising a sponsored walk to raise funds for the new village hall.  The walk will be round Mersea Island and take place on Sunday 25th July 2010.  The distance is approximately 14 miles.  We intend to start at 9am from the footpath near to the Strood.  There will be several scheduled stops to take on refreshment and supplies.

So far four members of the Committee have taken up the challenge and we would be happy to welcome as many people as possible to participate.  Please call Keith Banks on 735004 for more details and sponsorship forms.  If you can’t manage the walk, you are welcome to to sponsor one of the committee.

If you can’t manage the entire 14 miles, join us for part of the walk, even if its just between The Coast and The Victory!!  Dogs also welcome.

It’s a great opportunity to get some exercise, enjoy our beautiful countryside, to chat with friends and neighbours and raise some money for a good cause.
