Silent Auction - raised £877
On a sweltering Saturday 13th July people took refuge in the cool church where they were able to peruse more than 100 donations while partaking of the refreshments on offer. When the bell rang they started using their secret number to make their bids and outbid the competition. This was the fun part. At 8.30pm as the bell tolled the end of the auction, and after a bit of an admin delay (apologies) the winners paid and collected their items.
A big thank you to all those who came along to support us.
A Chip in the Sugar by Alan Bennett - raised £868

Green Welly Gardener's Question Time - raised £339
On Monday 29th October 2012 in the Village Hall we presented, courtesy of BBC Radio Northampton a “Green Welly Gardeners Question Time”.
The Panel consisted of the BBC’s Johnnie Amos along with Kathy Brown, Becky Peace, Alasdair Peak and Nick Warliker.
Unfortunately the only mutually convenient date fell in the local half term holiday so we did miss out with some ticket sales but even so we sold near 60 tickets, made £340.60 for our roofing fund and had an extremely enjoyable evening.
