Bric-à-brac
If anyone has any suitable items that would otherwise go to a charity shop, we could put them on our bric-à-brac stall tomorrow. Any unsold items will be sent to a charity shop. Do call us on 390433 if you can help.
Flaxdale Garden and Art Exhibition – Tomorrow – 10am to 6pm
Every year we make a great effort to try and get our gardens presentable for visitors to the village on Open Gardens day. This year we have decided to make the most of all our hard work and open our garden the day before Open Gardens day as well, i.e. on June 18th, to help raise funds for the DRCS, a local charity.
In the current climate DRCS (Derwent Rural Counselling Service) like many other charities, is finding it increasingly hard to make ends meet and risks having to cut the service it offers local people. We do hope you will be able to come, any time between 10am and 6pm to enjoy yourselves and at the same time enable DRCS to keep on with its good work supporting people in the area.
There will be an exhibition of original paintings by Gill, Gill Evans, Dorothy Littlewood, Evie Burlinson and Janis Castledine, who have all very kindly agreed to donate 25% of any sales to the charity. In addition we will have stalls for bric-à-brac, books and plants. There will also be a raffle.
The entry fee of £3 will entitle visitors to their first drink (tea, coffee, fruit juice or ‘bubbly’) plus a slice of cake. (We will not be doing cream teas!)
We have no idea how many will turn up, but we are promoting this event widely around the county and hope to attract a possibly different range of visitors from those who come regularly each year to the village Open Gardens event. Maybe some who visit Flaxdale garden on the 18th will be tempted to return the next day to visit all the other Parwich Open Gardens.
Thank you so very much for your support. If you can’t visit us on the 18th then you are most welcome to come another day to see the garden and paintings and any small donation to DRCS would be gratefully received.
With best wishes,
Mike & Gill R at Flaxdale House
