Apple Day - October 17th - Can You Help?

Dear All

Our next hall refurbishment fundraiser is our Apple Day on October 17th.

Below is the schedule for the day.

Here is a note of the things we still need help with – please let me know if you can help
(call 07968 981296)


· Apples presses – has anyone got one they could let us borrow and can anyone volunteer to run a pressing station? – Posters invite people to bring their own apples and containers.
· Cakes and Apple treats – we have hot pulled pork and apple rolls and large apple tarts from Fletchers - we need more cakes and treats to sell – baked apples, toffee apples etc – anyone offer to make us something?
· Kids games – we have 2 people from The Yorkshire Arboretum doing some crafts for the kids but how about apple bobbing or other apple related games – anyone volunteer to run this area of activity – this is the most important area in which we need help
· We have awnings from David Banks and Jem Charles – anyone else got one and anyone volunteer to help move furniture from hall to green from about 1pm?
· Anyone got a stash of home brew cider they could donate a few bottles of – the Morris men (x12) are to be paid in cider and food – we will need to buy otherwise as I have ot been able to get any donations
