Car Boot Trail – The Results Are In

Car Boot Trail – The Results Are In

Last Sunday, 16th July, saw a great village event with car boots open for business at over 40 homes.  This was great news for the Tom Bowdidge Foundation and Heathlands PTA; they will get to share the £262.13 raised to date.

The organisers, Laura, Eve, Vicky & Susan would like to thank all those who made voluntary donations from their sales. They are also very grateful for the notes and cards they received telling them how much you enjoyed the event regardless of how much was sold.

If you have any last minutes donations they will still be welcomed; drop them off at 76, 80 or 81 Chapel Road.
