Spring into Spring at the URC!

Posted on by

Come Saturday 4th May the sun will be shining [terms and conditions apply] and we’ll be holding our Spring Forecourt Sale from 10am to 12 Noon, admission FREE.
There’ll be our famous plant stall, bric-a-brac, hundreds of books, toys and games and pretty well anything we are given, except clothes and shoes.
Inside there will be a friendly coffee morning with homemade cakes alongside the higher quality books, collectables and a table of small, quirky objects including an otoscope [look it up!], a miniature travelling tool set, an RAF medal ribbon and some rather fine WW2 Red Cross certificates.
Proceeds will go to the work of the church and to our external charities for this year, which are THE SMILE TRAIN and PAPYRUS [prevention of young suicide] so there are extra reasons for grabbing a bargain.
The date is a change from the one previously announced but the two later dates of 8th June and 7th September still apply.
If you have items to donate please bring them to the church on Friday 3rd May between 2pm and 6pm or ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection.
This is also the number for any enquiries or offers of help.
Our earlier Coffee Morning and Coin Mountain raised £158, so many thanks to those who contributed to that and we look forward to your continued support on 4th May and during the rest of the year.

Our Summer Forecourt Sale was another success, with a great turnout, lovely atmosphere and takings of £742. But we’re never satisfied and are going again with a Late Summer Forecourt Sale on Saturday 9th September from 10am to 12 Noon, admission FREE.

It will be a wonderful opportunity for puzzlers, with jigsaws and items from the famous “WASGIJ” collection. Otherwise, it will be the same successful formula, with a plant stall, quality bric-a-brac, books galore, maps, stamps, jigsaws, boxed games and pretty well anything else you give us, except clothes and shoes, accompanied by a friendly coffee morning with homemade cakes.

We would particularly welcome more bric-a-brac and quality books so please think what you might be able to do without and bring the stuff to the church between 2pm and 6pm on Friday 8th September or ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection. This is also the number for any queries or offers of help and see you on the day!

Our Spring Forecourt Sale was a great success, with a good attendance and atmosphere and £818 raised for the church and our chosen charities for the year, British Red Cross and Asthma+Lung UK, so thank you to all who came and/or donated things for us to sell.

The weather then was better than forecast earlier in the week but we’re hoping for warmer and sunnier for our Summer Forecourt Sale on Saturday 10th June from 10am to 12 Noon, admission FREE.

The formula will be much the same, with the famous plant stall, quality bric-a-brac, books galore, maps, stamps, jigsaws and boxed games and pretty well anything else you give us, except clothes and shoes, accompanied by a friendly coffee morning with homemade cakes.

If you have items to donate please bring them to the church between 2pm and 6pm on Friday 9th June or ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection. This is also the number for any queries or offers of help, but otherwise we’ll again look forward to seeing you on the day!
