Tolpuddle Children's Christmas Party for the children of Tolpuddle and Southover
Sunday, 14th December 2pm - 4pm at Tolpuddle Village Hall
Contact Hannah at hannahcharlottelee@hotmail.co.uk
Once again Hannah and Rosie will be organising the Children’s Christmas party to be held in the Village Hall on Sunday 14th December 2.00pm until 4.00pm. In past years the Tolpuddle Events Committee has sponsored this event but as this committee was disbanded in March this year, there are no funds available to do this. To make sure that this event does go ahead for the children of the village, Mark has very kindly allowed a donation jar to be placed in the Martyrs Inn so if you can spare a little cash it will allow the party to go ahead and make a lot of children happy. To cover costs of food and presents we will need about £120 but the more the better.
Thanks again to Hannah and Rosie for putting this all together.
