Valeways Walks In November
Wenvoe Playgroup’s Christmas Fayre
Tuckers Reindeer Sale
TUCKERS REINDEER SALE
Saturday 25th November
Not long now! Come along to the 5th annual Tucker’s Christmas Reindeer sale on Saturday 25 November from 10am at 29 Vennwood Close and outside the Church Hall. Apart from the stars of the show there will be some lovely things to buy and a festive atmosphere to get you in the Christmas mood. We are being joined by some local crafters on the day including Trevor and his lovely Christmas houses, Meinir and her printed sweatshirts and Heulwen will be raising money from her beautiful handmade cards for the Library. There will be Tucker family crafts and some really cosy crocheted blankets made and sold by Justine.
We will be holding the usual raffle with some excellent quality prizes including luxury food hampers, a home baked and decorated Christmas cake, some very interesting bottles and some items that would make ideal gifts for adults and children. Once again, profits from this and from the sale of some crafts will be donated to our charity of choice, the Wenvoe Wildlife Group. We are expecting a visit from a gent on a sleigh in a red and white suit which will offer an excellent photograph opportunity. There will, again, be home made cake sold by the slice and all craft tables will be under the cover of Christmas decorated gazebos with festive music providing the backing track to the whole event. Why not join us and pick up a reindeer and some Christmas spirit! These have become collectors items so start making a list of people who deserve one as a gift. Bring a friend and have a festive catch up. We are so looking forward to seeing you there.

WENVOE OPEN GARDENS
WENVOE OPEN GARDENS
The Wenvoe Open Gardens on 17 June was a great
success. Twelve lovely people opened their gardens
for visitors to enjoy and the weather, except for one
brief shower of rain, was warm and sunny. It was a
friendly, sociable event with lots of chat and making
of new friends. Refreshments were available, and
very welcome, in the church grounds and the church
was open to visitors. Heartfelt thanks go to
everyone who supported the event by opening their
gardens, to those who bought tickets, donated money
and/or cake and to the volunteers who manned the
refreshments in the
church. The total
raised for St
Mary’s church
Building Fund was
£1,000, a
wonderful amount
and one to be
proud of. Thank
you all again
