POOL for School update: A very big thank you to everyone who took part in the event, the Popinjay for hosting and running the event, and everybody who turned up and made the evening a huge success.

A grand total of £600.73 was raised for the appeal and the winner also donated half of his winnings to the appeal, so a big thank you to him.

CHRISTMAS bazaar: Abbey Court will be holding a Christmas bazaar on November 20, between 2pm and 4pm.

There will be a brilliant raffle, and stalls will include toys, books, bric-a-brac, nearly new, guess the weight of the cake and much more.

So, if you do not want to miss the fun, don't be late, and book this date in your diary now.

If you are interested, call 01256 420676.

AUCTIONS at Melrose Hall: Only a few more Wednesdays left to get rid of unwanted stuff and make a bit of money to pay for new.
