M.A.W.S.
Following MAWS very successful Christmas Market in November the volunteers could be forgiven for thinking they could have a well earned rest as it would be a quiet time until the start of the Garden/outhouse sales in March. Wrong! After Christmas MAWS were inundated with stock, unwanted gifts were donated as raffle and tombola prizes. All old stock had to be sorted and sent to auction, sold by fee ads in newspapers or share with animal charities that MAWS supports. So much to do!. Then the strong winds moved the poly tunnel greenhouse that the garden sales are held under. So the volunteers added emergency repairs to their CV’s. What will they turn their hands to next one wonders.
The evening with medium Bryan Gibson on 15 February, was a complete sell out and raised £1,061.10 gross from tickets sales, raffle and tea and coffee, about £980.00 profit when the bills are in. Thanks to Bryan for taking time out from a very busy schedule to fit MAWS in. Thanks also to MAD for the loan of their sound equipment, pity they did not use their complementary tickets, they missed an interesting evening. Thank to Brian Munday from St John Ambulance (with two MAWS first aides) who stood by in case needed. Thanks to all who helped and to every one who attended.
