St Richard's 'Garden Party' Parish Social
St Richard's Parish Centre Friday 30th March 7.30 pm time change!! As it is Holy Hour in church until 8 pm, our Social will now start after Holy Hour. I hope this does not cause any inconvenience.
Tickets on Sale after Masses £1
At the Social there will be lists of Garden Party jobs which will need doing, and we want people to volunteer themselves for the part which best suits them - from stallholders, to ticket sellers, to goafers. There is also the chance for suggestions if someone has a bright idea of their own. If you have always done the same job and want to continue to do it, then put your name on that job. If you want a change, - change! Please don't assume you'll do the same as always, because if your name isn't there, we will think you don't want to do that job this year. You must claim your spot ! AND we want everyone to have a chat and catch up with friends, have a pastie, have a drink, a game of Bingo . . .
Please come, not many tickets have been sold and I can see me having to go in goals for 'Beat the Goalie', - don't do that to me
                 See you there, Christine.
