Volunteers Wanted for Daffodil Day - Monday 5th April 2010

The Daffodil Day Committee have organized things a bit differently this year in terms of proceeds from some of the various activities. It means that any money made from within the Manor House grounds will come directly to the shop. Therefore, we need to do our best to raise as much as possible.

Firstly, we will need volunteers to man the entrance gates. We plan to ‘do’ teas in the corner of the North Court with a string trio to lend a little light music! There could then be children’s games on the lawns nearby.
We are hoping that there can be pony rides in the paddock, a fortune teller (a traditional figure in times gone by!) and there is plenty of room to allow space for any other bright ideas!

Would you be free to help on the day? If so could you gave me some idea of the times that would best suit you and which activity you would most like to help with.
Could you bake some cakes? Would you like to serve teas?
We will need a small gazebo for the fortune teller to give some protection from the elements!
If we need tables and chairs would you be able to loan some?
Do you have any garden games which might be fun and suitable? Perhaps a set of boule? We do have some other things already.
Time marches on and although the event seems a long way away it is only a matter of weeks. Let us hope that the sun will shine!

With many thanks. I look forward to hearing from you.
