All ladies are very welcome to the PW Christmas party on Tuesday 13th December. We would love to see you there. We’re looking forward to all our senses being tickled by Anna McAllister’s chocolate themed presentation. There will be a festive supper along with an opportunity to visit the Christmas stall. We’ll finish the evening with some carols and a Christmas reflection.
If anyone would like to provide food for the supper, please speak to Helen Smith (07813605272). She’s keen for people to approach her so we’re not always asking the same people.
Proceeds from our stall will go to our general PW funds. If you have any bring & buy items, crafts or home bakes please bring them along early on the evening.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the PW mission fund it is greatly appreciated. Click the video below for a reminder of the work this fund supports.
