Friendship Club
Mrs Flinn writes:
For us, like everybody else, January and February have been one cancellation after another! We have had only one Club meeting during these months. Once again we have been out delivering Welfare Food round both villages.

Our Jumble Sale had to he cancelled at the last minute, but we have so much warm clothing we feel we must try again on Saturday afternoon, March 10th in the Village Hall.
