NEWSLETTER
NOVEMBER 2007
The purpose of this newsletter is to bring you up to date with what we have planned for this year and to ask you to spread
the news to your friends, neighbours and colleagues. The year started with the two boot sales in February and March which
were hugely successful, so much so that it is becoming difficult for our volunteers to cope adequately. In March we had 65
stalls and about 380 visitors through the door.
We desperately need more volunteers to help on the day, perhaps to take money at the door or to serve teas. If you feel
you would like to help in some small way please do let me know as it would be greatly appreciated.
The other events which are now planned for this year are as follows:-
Saturday 17th May - 10am to 4pm - A 'Local History Display' on similar lines to last year but with more groups participating
and with the main attraction being a re-enactment of the Anglo-Saxon way of life by 'REGIA ANGLORUM'. This is an event not
to be missed especially by the children, so please spread the word. Last year we had the Vikings and they were a huge success.
Friday 6th June - A concert by the Great Sutton Male Voice Choir.
Wednesday 18th June; The 'Waterloo Dinner' celebrating the famous battle and the founding of Waterloo. This will be a
formal black-tie dinner with all the trimming and although we don't expect to make any money the cost is likely to be about
£35 a head. The previous 'Waterloo Dinner' was two years ago and considered to be a great success.
18th to 27th July; The 2nd Annual 'Waterloo Festival of Arts & Crafts'. It will be difficult to better our first attempt
but we shall try our hardest!
8th to 10th August; 'City of Culture Festival of the Coast'. A new venture for the 'Capital of Culture' year.
11th to 14th September - Heritage Open Days.
11th October; The 2nd Annual Sefton's Big Draw to build on this year's event and further inspire people of all ages to
take up drawing and painting.
