Flaxdale Garden & Art Exhibition 18th June – A big thank you
Mike & Gill R would like to thank all those who visited our gardens and the exhibition of paintings on Saturday and helped to make it possible to contribute over £900 towards the charity, Derwent Rural Counselling Service. We could not have achieved this without the very generous support of the many helpers who gave their time both before the event, baking cakes and chocolate brownies, supplying books, bric a brac and plants for sale, distributing leaflets and posters, donating prizes for the raffle, lending us a ‘Burco’ boiler, and on the day welcoming visitors at the gate, serving refreshments and running the stalls and helping Gill in the exhibition. We must also add a special thank you to Jane B and the ‘blog’ for posting notices and timely reminders and pleas for help with bric a brac and a boiler. The weather was not kind to us, so in the circumstances we did well to welcome over 70 visitors who were so generous in their appreciation of the gardens and paintings and their giving to the charity. You have all helped in such a good cause, thank you so much, Mike & Gill.
