This year\u2019s Spring Plant sale is creeping nearer and nearer. It falls very close to the VE80 anniversary which is on 8 May. This commemorates the 80th anniversary of the cessation of fighting in Europe. Fighting would rage on in Japan until surrender came on 15 August 1945 which finally ended WW2. The usual array of plants will be on sale outside the church hall and Gareth will once again run a donations\/fundraising stall where you can donate sporting goods or garden tools and equipment surplus to your requirements that can be sold to raise funds for the Wenvoe Wildlife Group. There will be hustle and bustle inside the church hall too. The hall will be decorated inside and out with celebratory bunting, there will be music from the era playing inside and there will be a chance for visitors to buy a sheet of \u2018ration tickets\u2019 which they can use to sample some food made from typical wartime recipes. There may be some under the table brownies and cakes available too but don\u2019t tell anyone about that. Penalties are hard for Black Marketeers, but rumour has it that we will be joined by a local \u2018spiv\u2019 on the day!. If you wish to dress in clothes sympathetic to wartime we would be delighted.<\/p>\n
There will be the usual raffle but running parallel to that will be another raffle which will have prizes which would have been treasured during wartime restrictions. You still only pay once but every winning ticket gets a prize from each table. There will be posters and information sheets around the walls. Glenys recorded older residents talking about their memories of WW2 in 2020 for planned celebrations for VE75 but Covid stopped that so there will be some transcripts for people to read on the day too. You may even like to have a go at \u2018pin the cigar on Churchill\u2019.<\/p>\n
As usual the proceeds from the raffle and some proceeds from the plants and refreshments will go to our charity of choice which is the Wenvoe Wildlife Group to help enable them to carry out the much-needed work they do in and around our village. We would love to see as many of you as possible on the day and hope you will join in with the spirit of the occasion. Mark your calendar!<\/p>\n
