Chance to Dance 

The above prestigious event is looking like it will return this year on June 30th.  If this is the case, I think we should embrace it and plan a proper exhibition this year.  I will be wanting as many volunteers as possible from beginner up to advanced please.

We have collected £50 from the sale of daffodils and Sheila has also put in £100 from her book sales for the  Marie Curie Cancer Care. This money is now on its way to the charity.  Thank you to all who have donated.

Wanted - Barbie and Sindy dolls and wool

These are required for Samaritans Purse.  They will clean them up and make new clothes for them.  The wool oddments will be useful for knitting various garments.

Charities Raffles

Thanks to Mags Doherty for running the raffles at the Speedwell Saturday socials between October 2005 and November 2010.  During that time she raised £2,058  for a huge number of charities.  Unfortunately this has all stopped due to a lack of interest in attendance at the socials.   

Thanks to Mags for all her hard work for so many worthy causes.  

During the five years that Mags has been organising the raffles at the Speedwell she has made a staggering £2507.50 for good causes.  It is a shame that this has come to an end because the good causes are all still awaiting support.
