LAST COFFEE MORNING OF THE YEAR: The last coffee morning of the year took place on Saturday 3rd December and was once again a very successful event. These events don’t just happen by accident, but by hard work by a dedicated team who generously give their free time to both organise and oversee the task in hand. We are fortunate enough to have such a team here in the village, who have for a great many years run this successful event Brian and Kathryn Seddons assisted by family members Alan and Victoria Seddons when work patterns allow, run the event from start to finish.
The event this time also incorporated the yearly Grand Christmas Draw, which generates a lot of much needed funding for the Village Hall.
Many faces old and new called in during the day and both County Councillor Liz Yates and District Councillor Tracey Taylor also attended and mingled with villagers during the session. Thanks to both for the support. Much appreciated.
This year most of the major prizes were won by local residents (who bought most of the tickets).
Major prize winners are as follows:
- £100 cash (donated by Mark and Fiona Adams) was won by Helen Astbury from Portland Meadows.
- A car valet voucher (donated by Honda Garages Retford) was won by Wendy Armstrong from Station Rd.
- A real live Xmas tree (donated by Sunny Bank nurseries) was won by local man David Mowthorpe.
- A 10.1 Tablet (Donated by Sharon Dyson) was won by Angela Richards from Clyro Place.
- A much sought after Painting of Sutton Village Hall (donated by D J Mowthorpe) was won by Mr Edson from Portland Meadows.
- A slow-cooker (donated by Frank and Mavis Bradley ) was won by Alan Chambers.
- Many other prizes, over 30 in total, were won on the day, and were all claimed.
Thanks to all who supported the event in any way, your help is much appreciated.
Profits from the event, thought to be in the region of £750.00 are destined for Village Hall funds. Thanks to all concerned.
