AN APPEAL – Archbishop of Wales Fund for Children- Our next fund-raising event is a “Chinese Auction”, at St. Mary’s Church Hall, Risca on Thursday 16thFebruary. For this the Committee has to provide a large number of prizes, and we should be grateful for help. Good quality items – new or nearly-new, in original wrapping if possible would be much appreciated. Perhaps you have received Christmas gifts surplus to requirements? See Eric Cunnell (01495-774526).
