A few weeks ago 2 of our Church members, Edwina and June, took an army vehicle to Ukraine as part of a larger Convoy. They were delivering vehicles and medical equipment to the soldiers there as well as chocolate brownies, lots of them, for the Ukrainian soldiers which they just love.
It was by all accounts a successful trip and Edwina and June would like to share their experiences with you. Archie Hainsworth, one of the organisers of the Convoy will also be present to share his side of the story. Whilst June and Edwina stopped at the border to deliver the vehicle they drove, Archie would go further into Ukraine to deliver the medical supplies..and more. We will find out.
Come to their talk at 2.30pm on 28th November at Monks Eleigh Village Hall where tea and cakes will be there (and maybe the odd brownie or 2??)
