TUCKER\u2019S VE80 WARTIME PLANT SALE
\n<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

On Saturday 10th May we held the Tucker\u2019s VE80 plant sale in and around the Church Hall. Whenever we hold a sale there is always a worry that attendance will be low or the weather won\u2019t be good. We are always well supported by our community, but this time you blew us away! The sun came out and so did all of you. We were so pleased to see you all and were especially pleased to see so many in wartime costume. The total raised for Wenvoe Wildlife Group now stands at \u00a32,122. This was raised from the sale of the plants (many of which were so kindly donated), the raffle, Gareth\u2019s pre-owned garden and sports equipment table, the wildlife table, wartime food, profit from the cakes, takings for drinks, the silent auction for the Spitfire in Flight painting and from Joyce Hoy\u2019s succulents and cacti sales.<\/p>\n

Heartfelt thanks go to everyone who donated a raffle prize, to Phyllis, Pam and Sian who donated some wartime food items for sale to add to mine, to everyone who donated equipment and plants, to all our fabulous volunteers who make it all possible, to Brenda for her fabulous accordion playing, to our wonderful \u2018spiv\u2019 Tony and last, but certainly not least, to all of you. Mike and I are so very grateful to you all.<\/p>\n
