Easter Raffle


To add a little bit more to our fund raising for safe water in poor countries we raffled a very eggstravagant Hotel Chocolate Easter Egg last week-end . Janet and Graham on the right were the winners with ticket number 87.
A very big thankyou to everyone who took part over our busy weekend at Mintons for raising £65!

CLOD HOPPERS

Hi, let me bring you up to date. We've been so very busy here at Minton's -must be the fantastic new menu and website! The lovely big group in the garden are the local Blood Donors who call themselves The Clod Hoppers. They met for coffee, tea and bacon butties before setting off for a good walk over the fields. Thanks Clod Hoppers, you were a friendly group. Keep up the good work!

£900 Raised for Christian Aid

A year ago relatively new friends at Mintons, Nikki and John were having a sort out at home and asked if I had any use for some good quality items? It inspired me to raise monies for Water Aid and we started a continual Bring and Buy Sale which happily ran for many months. In the summer a wonderful charity singing group named Farnaby and Co. gave their time to produce a superb concert here at church which was thoroughly enjoyed by many. This Easter our eldest son bought the most eggstravagant Easter egg from Hotel Chocolate and we raffled it.

So now it's time to say a very BIG THANKYOU to all our customers, friends and family and CONGRATULATIONS for raising a whopping £900.00.

As you can see the cheque has now gone to Christian Aid for them to provide community taps in 20 different areas. Each tap costs £45 and will provide safe, clean water which will hugely improve health and sanitation. Thank you all so very much. Judy
