Fund raising for the General Fund needs to move up a gear if we are to balance our 2026 accounts. Current trends suggest a shortfall of some £1,800 against budget for this particular line item.Mike Sargent, Hon Treasurer
The results of the Stewardship Appeal so far show that of the 49 Planned Giving streams (having gained 2 and lost 2), 14 have been increased amounting to an 8.9 % increase. It is difficult to gauge if regular Sunday collections via the plate and card reader have changed because of variance of attendance and the number of Sundays in the month.Mike Sargent, Hon Treasurer
Perennials, annuals and young vegetable plants all sell well and house plants, succulents and ferns are popular too. This year we will also be selling pottery pots and their saucers and plastic pots of various sizes. Plants and pots can be left near the South Door of St. Mary's Church on Friday, 29 May or bring them to the Meadow before 9:45am on the day of the sale. It does help the sorting process if plants are labelled. If you don't know the name, please indicate the plants' preference for sun or shade. Please note – no cars are allowed on the Meadow between the hours of 9:45am and 1:00pm.Hope the weather is kind, look forward to seeing you there, Meriol. (tel 075826 23482)
