THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CAME ALONG! The Cake Sale for Ukraine,Bloxham Christmas Fair & Workshops, especially Anne Tweddle’s rag wreath table, were a wild success. Christmas jumper decorating and stocking printing brought out great talents. A tremendous sum – \u00a3900 – was raised from the cake sale for Red Cross Ukraine; and BB balances are healthy and in the black. Jackie ‘Antoinette’ Davies is very pleased to report that in 2023, cake sales made a huuuge \u00a32,260! She thanks everyone who baked cakes and ate cakes throughout the year. A note from BB: The Cake Sales are the personal initiative of Jackie, a BB member, and Katherine Aplin; we occasionally join forces to add fun and variety, and to help contribute to positive action.<\/p>\n
