Charitable things ...


We all know that CFC is not a charity fund-raising organisation, but we have regularly been able to support good causes.
Within the coming months, instead of Children in Need, we’ve decided to support more local causes.

Buy-a-Brick:

The Regnum Guides are seeking funding for the planned extension/refurbishment of the Guide Hall.
You’ll have seen their posters in the hall asking everyone to buy a brick.
Some of you have done so already - thank you.

To this end we plan to donate any surplus funds, (weekly subscriptions minus hall-hire fees,) accrued from 30th August until the end of 2013 to the Guides.

In order to do this we need to generate said surplus: that means an average of more than 10 bodies in attendance every week.
(There’s a hint there!)

We will present that donation at our Christmas Party to be held on Friday, 20th December.
Mark that date in your diary.

Prostate Cancer UK:

We have good reason to support this worthwhile charity, hopefully a local branch.

So, on 31st January, 2014, (when all the festivities are over,) we will hold a special evening to include a raffle and sponsored requests, much as we have done so enjoyably and successfully in the past.

We all like requests!
