Late summer sale at the URC

From URC

The URC’s Summer Forecourt Sale was another winner, with almost £900 raised overall and over £200 each heading towards each of The Brain Tumour Charity and Sightsavers.  Now we’re doing it once more for this year, with our Late Summer Forecourt Sale on Saturday 6th September, 10am to 12 Noon, admission FREE.  We’ll again be selling plants, bric-a-brac, books, jigsaws, toys and games, stamps and postcards, small curios and pretty well anything else except clothes and shoes.  As ever, the sale will be accompanied by a friendly coffee morning with homemade cakes.  Donations can be brought to the church on Friday 5th September between 2pm and 6pm or ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection.  We look forward to seeing you on the day and please note that we are CASH ONLY!

Hillingdon u3a update

It seems that, although u3a was coined as an acronym for University of the Third Age, the ‘university’ word carried too many implications. What follows is a more accurate description gleaned from the Hillingdon u3a website:

Based in West London, Hillingdon u3a provides many educational, creative and leisure opportunities for its members in a friendly environment. This is achieved by its members running over 80 interest groups. You can see the list of these in the Groups page. Hillingdon u3a is well established having formed 24 years ago and now has over 850 members across the Ruislip, Ickenham, Uxbridge, Hillingdon, Hayes and West Drayton area. It also has an active social programme of monthly meetings, visits, walks, concerts, theatre trips and a regular members’ newsletter.

URC news

From URC

Forecourt Sale on Saturday!
 
The first URC forecourt sale of the summer was a great success, with lovely weather, a good crowd, a great atmosphere and £878 raised for the church and our chosen charities for the year: The Brain Tumour Charity and Sightsavers.  We’re looking for at least as good a result at our next event next Saturday 14th June, 10am to 12 Noon, admission FREE, but we can only do it if the good folk of Ickenham are as generous again in the items you give us.  As usual, we will be selling plants, bric-a-brac, books, jigsaws, toys and games, stamps and postcards, small curios and almost anything else except clothes and shoes.  We have already had some interesting books in, including Puffin Picture Books, local history, war and Indian cricket.  As usual, the sale will be accompanied by a friendly coffee morning with homemade cakes.  Donations can be brought to the church on Friday 13th June between 2pm and 6pm or ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection.  This is also the number for queries or offers of help.  See you on the 14th June, or 13th if you’re bringing us stuff!
