The Legion would like to thank everyone who contributed to, and who attended, the harvest auction last night.

The generosity of the donators and the bidders was amazing and we managed to raise £500 for the Independent Welfare Fund!

We have received the following from the Parwich Oddfellows:

To everyone who helped and supported us, and most of all showed their friendship.

Now the Wakes Week as ended, I don’t think we can say, “now the dust can settle” I haven’t seen any over the last week due to the inclement weather.

Last Saturday we marched off from outside our base, thanks to the Sycamore Inn, and its a big thanks also to the Carnival and Recreation Committee with the Parwich RBL for the week we all had, you have more than helped us, and to say we ended the week on the right note was down to the RBL team and our Brother Hotch, (who can ring a bell as well), I think I can quietly say people enjoyed the night.
Big thanks also to Mick and Val on the BBQ, organising and giving your time, it is appreciated greatly.
Thanks also goes to Petal (A Flower) for his trailer.

The family fun afternoon will hopefully take place when the weather improves, we will keep you posted and we hope to see you all there.

Most of all its the friendship that’s within the village that creates such a good week for the Oddfellows, and the support given by adults and now juniors joining the Lodge, this keeps us strong and secure for the future, so thank you Brothers and Sisters.

Thank you again to all involved and the support everyone gives.

The Committee.
