THANK YOU FROM BADMINTON VILLAGE CLUB
Macmillan Coffee Morning
We held a coffee morning on Saturday 28 th September to raise money
for Cancer Macmillan. Thank you to all those on the committee who
helped and to Neil and Gill for their support. Also thanks to Jean Earl,
Yvonne and Gill for organising stalls on the day and to Tim for his help with the Bingo. Special
thanks to the regular bingo supporters who came along for the bingo session on the day.
Also thanks to all those who donated cakes and bric-a-brac for our stalls. It was not as well
supported as we would have hoped but we still managed to raise £300 for the charity.
Harvest Festival Auction at Badminton Village Club
On Sunday 29 th September there was a Harvest Thanksgiving service at Badminton Church
followed by an auction of produce etc. at Badminton Club. Thanks to auctioneer Terry Tripp and
to Martin, Tim, Mike, Sally and Yvonne for assisting him. Thank you also to all who donated the
produce, bottles and gifts to make the auction such a success. Our Vicar, Richard Thomson, who
attended the auction was very pleased that we were able to raise £351 for Badminton Church.
I was sorry to see that not many villagers supported this event.
Special thanks to Tim Salt who gave up his evening on his birthday for the auction.
Special Note
During these times of financial difficulty all businesses are struggling. Badminton Club is no
different. With no pub in the village the Club is the social meeting place and we are family
friendly. We would like to see more people supporting it, existing members and new. Please
remember the old phrase “Use it or lose it”. I would hate for this to happen.
SKITTLE ALLEY/PARTIES
If you and your group or friends would like to raise money for your own charity our skittle alley
is available at weekends or weekdays when there is no league game. Also we can
