2009 REPORT TO THE PARISH

On behalf of the committee I am pleased to report another splendid year's fundraising which was only marginally below previous years helped by some very generous donations.

This year our funding as previously outlined is directed towards humanitarian type projects identified and confirmed with Fr Taylor whilst I was in Malawi.

Activities this year

Our Crazy Whist night was again held in the hall and continues to be an enjoyable social event.

We were entertained and danced to the wonderful music of the "The Degenerates" who donated their services for a sixties dinner dance.

A presentation luncheon serving Malawian cuisine in the gathering area afforded the opportunity to expand on aspects of my Malawian visit.

Our theatre night continues to be an enjoyable experience and this year’s comedy play's performance was outstanding albeit our attendance numbers continue to fall.

Raffles continue to be popular successful fundraisers.

At our AGM current office bearers confirmed their continuance for the 2010 year.
