Burwash

Jumble: Wow, what a turn out for the Guides & Brownies jumble sale last Saturday. I don't think I have seen so many people at one, it was like a sea of people entering the hall. They certainly had a wide and vast variety of items to rummage through as all the tables were piled really high with goods. The guiders are very grateful to all the parents that turned out to help man the stalls, but equally to everyone who came along. A total of £415 was raised for group funds. The best result ever. The guides and Brownies will now look to organising their Santa's grotto for the festive evening, which is being held on Wednesday 5 December. Also their Christmas card delivery. More details nearer the time.
