“The Children will get an Easter treat, kindly sponsored by Laura and Shirley. Adults will get a cuppa and some nice home baking in the Whitehouse Garden afterwards. If anyone wants to do a few sandwiches or home baking just contact Mary 087-7712075 or Lisa 087-7516089. We might even have a wee bake sale if we get all you bakers into action!"
