The Tentmakers of Cairo coming to St Mary's Hall - 27-29 March

Excellent news - the planning permission for the new toilet block at St Mary’s Hall has been approved.
The next step is raise funds and apply for grants to have superb facilities for everyone. Baby changing facilities, a toilet for the less able with a shower, more cubicles for ladies, and urinals and a cubicle for men. Hoping to have solar panels, for heating and hot water.
If you would like to donate to the TRIP fund I will put a QR code on this page.

A huge thank you to the Appledore community for their support today at St Mary's Christmas coffee morning at the Royal pub. With over £680 from the amazing Appledore Knitters (driven on my Josie) the total raised was £1,243 - an extraordinary amount. the funds will go to the church hall TRIP project which aims to replace the toilets within a couple of years (hopefully less!) all being well and subject to getting planning permission.
So thank you Alice and Garth for the venue and support, all those who brought raffle prizes and cakes, Josie and her knitters, Tracey cutting the cakes and all who gave their time and talents. THANK YOU!!!!!
