Merle Boddy Centre<br />

Thank you to all the lovely people who attended<br />

our quiz. The theme was very loosely connected to<br />

Valentine’s. The winners were a girl’s night out, they<br />

won a bottle of wine and chocs. Our lovely, young<br />

farmers came at the bottom but didn’t go home empty<br />

handed, with something nice and gooey to tuck into.<br />

We made a fantastic £472. All our supporters are just<br />

the best. Our next fundraiser was on 16th March with<br />

an Easter bingo, fantastic prizes and a raffle.<br />

I once saw on the back of a Landrover that young<br />

farmers do best in green wellies, well our local young<br />

farmers are the best in what ever they wear. On the<br />

night of the quiz we were presented with a cheque for<br />

£300, doesn’t this just go to prove that the younger<br />

generation do care. I am so very pleased that we have<br />

made such a brilliant connection with such a fantastic<br />

group of people. Many, many thanks to all of you.<br />

The Merle Boddy Centre has had its face lift. We now<br />

have 3 of the best looking loos in town, one has a<br />

shower, so really there is no need for me to go home!<br />

At the same time as the major refurb of the toilets, we<br />

took the opportunity to re-decorate the main room<br />

and the kitchen too. My thanks goes to all of my staff<br />

and volunteers, who pitched in and did a fantastic job<br />

on not only painting but, a major turn out of things<br />

that were of no longer any use to us. These things<br />

were not thrown out, but recycled.Thank you also to<br />

Candy, Kerry and John, who helped a great deal to<br />

achieve our new look. We also had two of the nicest<br />

professional painters, Paul and Jonny, who pointed us<br />

in the right direction and did a top job on the ceilings<br />

and the kitchen. The building work was contracted<br />

to R&I builders who did a stunning job. Many thanks<br />

to all you lovely men who drank our tea and ate our<br />

biscuits, but got on with the job of making the day<br />

Ian Clews has been hard at work raising money and<br />

we are the lucky recipients. Ian gave us a cheque for<br />

£800 and a skittles game, both gifts were very much<br />

appreciated. The skittles game was tried out straight<br />

away by George, this will give hours of fun and<br />

laughter. Thank you again to Ian and of course your<br />

lovely roadie Maggie too.
