ROTARY SHOEBOX APPEAL
We will be holding a Shoebox Workshop morning in St James Hall
on July 29th 10am-12pm.
All donations of coloured pencils, rubbers, sharpeners, pens, gratefully received. We will make up stationery packs.
We will also be making other bits up
– come along (bring the kids) it is a wonderful experience. We sent 550 boxes in October and we have another 100 to send, due to sponsors at Christmas Lights.
We will be having our Shoebox Day in Plaza again on 7th October
All will be supplied – come and fill a shoebox for a child in need. It ties in with the Farmers Market and Indoor Market. If you can help in any way please drop off at 10 Heron Avenue.
Thank you for supporting us
God Bless, Lindsey and Cindy.
GARAGE SALE
Thank you to all who took part and all who shopped. We raised over £600 for our Charity – Rotary Shoeboxes.
It was an amazing day, sun was out and plenty of footfall.
Thank you to Bletsoe’s for printing our maps,and for those who sold them.
Our next sale is Saturday 16th September from 9am-1pm.
We asked people’s opinion and that seemed to be most popular day and time.
Registration will begin at start of August at Farmers Market or via or Facebook page or forms from Town Council.
THRAPSTON COUNTRY DANCERS
New members are always welcome. We meet at St James Church Hall on the first and third Wednesday 2.00-3.30pm.
Our numbers have increased recently which
is very encouraging and enables the group to enjoy a greater selection of dances. Everyone is made welcome and first visit is free. We are a very sociable and friendly group. Beginners are very welcome. A partner is not required and all dances are walked through. If a dance goes wrong as sometimes happens we all have a good laugh. The main thing is that everyone has fun. For further information ring George 01933 622827.
