Poppy Down Sewing Day

Thank you to all the ladies who came to our sewing day back in March 2015. It was a very enjoyable day and Sally’s talk and her quilts were fantastic.
We made a grand total of 1000 for the three Charities, Air Ambulance, Head ways and Fun 4 all, which is a great amount!!
These days are hard work to make it a good day for you all, so a very big thank you to the girls who made it happen, whether it was making a cake, donating books and magazines, sewing Aprons and making tombola prizes.
So many thanks to everyone who helped in anyway to make it a lovely day for all to enjoy. Here are a few photos of the cheques being presented to Headways and Fun-4- All at our Monday afternoon meeting.
