Dear All,

Just to inform you that work has now started at Greenmount Old School Community Centre to replace the floor of the main hall.

As a result, the car park is out of action for two weeks. However, if you wish to drop off any jumble this can be placed in the usual boxes which have been positioned at the side door in the yard area. Access is by foot only, through the gate at the front of the building. However, if possible, it would be appreciated if you can leave dropping things off until after the 29th July due to temporary limits on storage space.

Most activities have been suspended, but Cuppa and Chat will still take place on Thursday afternoon from 2pm till 4pm at Greenmount Church. For the next two weeks.

There will not be a tabletop sale in August. The next sale will take place on Saturday 2nd September.

With kind regards,

Julie Southworth

Dear All

Please find attached a poster advertising the Grand Jumble Sale to be held on Saturday from 9pm until noon at Greenmount Old School.

Also, to anyone considering joining the Orchard Volunteer session which normally runs on the first Sunday of the month….

BEWARE THE IRON MAN!

Due to anticipated road closures around the orchard on the 2^nd July, (the Bolton Iron Man will be in full swing), we have decided to move the session to the following Sunday: Sunday 9^th July, 1.30-4pm.
