Summer Fair Valence House

 On Saturday 26th August First Ladies had a tombola stall at the Valence House Summer Fair, we had plenty of ladies who volunteered to help on the stall and we sold out of items on the stall.

Thanks goes out to all those who assisted in the organisation and set up of this event.

Picnics

 In August we all had the opportunity to attend 2 different picnics. 

One hosted by First Ladies at Valence House on Saturday 5th August, due to the wet weather this was held in the building rather than the walled garden.

Second was on Sunday 13th and was a get together with First Ladies, East Edge Sisters and Forest Gate WIs.

Although I personally didn't attend either picnic I have heard that fun was had by all that did attend.
