Well, even though the church pulled out of the Summer Gala we went ahead as I was sure that the sun would shine - and it did! Pirate Akela ran the Coconut Shie and we also had stalls and games as well as hotdogs and popcorn. Just so you know, the Tombola items you donated raised £85, the books raised £38.50 and the Bottle Hoopla £60 as well as £18.70 from the Cake Stall. With the other things going on we raised a magnificent £270 despite most of Ardsley assuming we had cancelled along with church. However, word soon got round the village and people started to arrive. It would have been nice to see a lot more of our children and parents though! So, a very big thank you to all of you who donated, baked and attended this event. Every penny raised will be spent on the children and I will let you know what we buy asap.
Church have postponed their Gala until September so we will do it all again with them. Therefore, please keep donating tombola items, bottles and books whenever you like throughout the summer. I know the kids are grateful when they use the games equipment etc that we buy for them.
