St Stephen’s Church

There was lots of support for St Stephen’s Church new roof appeal over the weekend. On Saturday, Snainton Village Hall was fairly full for people to sample the homemade soup followed by pancakes with a variety of toppings. There were lots of different stalls and games resulting in a profit of £667.

Fortunately, on Sunday the weather was kind and stayed fine for the first ever Snowdrop Walk around the grounds of Headon Cottage and Wydale Hall (with grateful thanks to the Durston family and the management of Wydale Hall). The woodland areas were literally carpeted with the snowdrops and other early spring flowers, a truly stunning display for the approx 125 people who came along to admire them, £882 was raised – fabulous for a first time event. Grateful thanks to everyone who helped and supported both of these.

Also, in the last few days, the Vale Players have very generously donated £800 to the new roof appeal (massive thanks to them) so the last weekend in February has seen the total go up by just short of £2,400 – fantastic.

If anyone would like to make a donation to the appeal or has an idea for a fundraiser please contact 01723 859843 or 01723 859130.

Future events include – Friday 26 May in St Stephen’s Church at 7.30pm Hackness Ladies Choir will perform for us; Sunday 25 June Snainton Open Gardens.
