Hot in the hall, hot outside, hot for the plants, hot for the Bean Bag Bonanza.It looked easy, three practice bean bags and then the pressure mounted for the three that counted.30+ points won a prize, the points were:Brownie 1 - 75Ken - 75Danae - 75Mr S - 50Guides 1&2 - 50Susan - 50Noel - 50Cookie - 50 (eventually)JW - 50Mr D - 30Daniel - 25Dan - 20In contrast, the church was cool, the organ played and the bells rang.The refreshments were popular, the cakes spectacular and the cream teas mouthwatering.The high point for me, the (rather shy, no pictures) human fruit machine, which behaved like all the others and I won nothing :)Well done to all those who helped prepare, helped run, helped put away and were patrons to the event.HOT OFF THE PRESS: When all contributions are gathered in, looks like over £700 will have been raised.
UPDATE - four in the fellowship outside St John's.UPDATE - someone has joined the fellowship outside St John's.Many towns and villages across the country have been holding Scarecrow displays during the summer months bringing smiles and laughter and visitors a plenty.St John's are early into the game with a couple of characters relaxing outside the church. Perhaps more will join them?
