Easter Egg Tombola – Wed 28th March
The club will be holding their annual Easter fundraiser on club night Wednesday 28th March. This will take the form of the ever popular Easter egg tombola and a raffle for a large Easter egg. This year the raffle egg has been sponsored by Everyone Active.
However the club do need donations of Easter eggs for the tombola. These can be brought to the front desk on a club night over the next few weeks.
There will also be knitted Easter characters and kingfishers minions available to buy (complete with creme egg or similar).
