Fundraising: Thanks to the Coffee Morning team we have had some very successful mornings which have raised the grand total of £4390. We have now decided to hold them on the first Saturday of each month from July onwards and at a slightly later time of 10.30 – 12.30.

The July 1st one will be a special, as along with the usual items on sale inside, we will have a Car Boot Sale outside and we are giving our own members and friends of the Chapel an opportunity to book their place first. Three slots have already been taken so if you are interested contact Fiona or Sheila or one of the stewards to book your pitch.

May will be a busy month with the Coronation and the Music Festival so there won't be the normal coffee morning in May or June but we will be celebrating the Coronation with worship, coffee and cake on May 7th.

We are one of the venues for the Music Festival on the last weekend of May, so when we are hosting a musical item we will be serving our usual delicious home made refreshments. Any volunteers to help that weekend or provide tray bakes please see Julia or Nancy May.

We would also like to remind people who do online shopping that through Easy Fundraising you can, at no extra cost to yourself, raise funds for AMC – money raised by this method has now reached £536.70, which is excellent. Please spread the word if you have friends who shop in this way.
