Let's Go Swishing

The monthly Coffee Morning on Saturday March 26th (10am to 12noon) is joining forces with the REAP Gardening group to put on a Swishing party. You may not have been to one of these before but if you go you will be taking part in the new phenomenon sweeping the world of fashion! So what should you expect, apart from coffee and cake and biscuits?

A good Swish needs lots of people and lots of clean, good quality garments which you have tired of yourself or maybe grown out of. For every garment you bring (on a hanger please) you get a token which you can exchange for another item you take a fancy to. Simple. So, adults, teenagers and children, have a spring clear-out and bring clothes to church either on the Sunday before, on Friday 25th March from 6-7pm or on the actual day at 10am.

At 11am on the Saturday the curtain goes up and you can buy, buy buy, using only your tokens of course. There will be somewhere for you to try on clothes plus free advice on how to do alterations!

There will also be a Gardening group stall, with details of the year's programme of events as well as a chance to do some spring veggie planting, also for free!

Mums, maybe dads, teenagers and children - get swishing and bring your friends! Remember Saturday 26th March in church.

PS. Any leftover clothes will go to St. Gemma's Hospice Shop.
