During Lent we managed to raise £600 for Martin House Children's Hospice Wetherby. For 7 weeks we served soup, a roll, sweet and tea or coffee. We also held a raffle and played bingo.

We knitted throughout the year for Ann the lady who sells the knitting for the Hospice, I think we have taken 4 lots of big bags of knitting, mainly baby knitting, clothes, blankets, etc. Ann has made £100s of pounds for the Hospice, where she lives and when she goes to the caravan and big events.

The ladies always support our church events by baking, helping and contributing where and when ever needed.

A few times this summer we have gone out to lunch to various places, for some this is the only time they manage to get out and go somewhere. We have had raffles and since the clock appeal have given it to that.

We have welcomed 3 new ladies this year who support the group. Mrs Whitehead, Janice and the latest is Janet E.

In December we go out to Christmas Lunch and we invite other members of Church to join us.

It is a lovely little group; if you would like to come along its the second Thursday of the month from 1pm to 3pm ,we also have a lunch club the fourth Thursday of the month 12noon to 3pm we have lunch, hold a raffle and play bingo.

If you are interested in joining us give Linda a ring on 07939967800.

I would like to thank each and every one of you for all your hard work supporting the group, the Hospice and also St Botolph’s Church.
