Cartmel Sheepy Village Raises nearly £10,000 for Bay Search & Rescue
Following the Cartmel Sheepy Trail and the Grand Sheep Auction on Saturday 17 July, nearly £10,000 has been raised for BS&R, and the barometer is still rising. 14 sheep were auctioned for an average of £160 each, along with other numerous lots donated from local businesses. 2011 Calendars are on sale in the village for £5 with all proceeds going to the charity. Plans are underway for Cartmel Sheepy Village 2011 and information on how to get involved is on the official website: www.cartmel-sheepyvillage.com
The members of Cartmel and District Flower Club enjoyed a return visit by guest demonstrator Gillian Platt, who produced a variety of modern and traditional arrangements in a combination of garden and exotic flowers. The winners of the monthly competition were: 1st Mrs S Barton; 2nd Mrs H Allen; 3rd Mrs A Ross; and highly commended Mrs O Derbyshire. The next monthly meeting will be on Monday August 16th at 2pm in the village hall, when Liz Broad from Formby will be the demonstrator. New members and visitors are always welcome.
