The Quiz night will still go ahead as the winds are expected to ease late afternoon.

 

We very kindly had donated six pieces of Swarovski silver crystal – they are all in new condition. They are too good to go to a table top sale, so we thought we would auction them. If you are interested in putting in a bid, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Auction pre-owned Swarovski silver crystal closes Wednesday 5th December 12 noon

All money raised will go towards re-instating the Bell Turret.

IMC25995The annual Ford Park Cemetery Christmas Fayre was again a great success and enjoyed by visitors and volunteers alike.The funds raised are a great help to the cemetery.

The Visitors Centre provided cakes, preserves, chocolate tombola and jewelry with the cafe providing much needed refreshments and pasties. The Chapel hosted an excellent range of books and bric-a-brac. The new Northey Room, situated behind the Visitors Centre, was full of crafts such as knitted scarves, toys etc and our annual range of affordable and beautiful Xmas wreaths.

Thanks go to our wonderful volunteers and the people who supported us on the day. We managed to raise over £1,121.56 on this event.
