See you for Art Journaling on Tuesday

A big thanks to all those who helped, or baked cakes for us to sell at the Carnival on Saturday. Additional thanks to the committee members who did all the pre-event preparation. These things don’t just happen there is lots of shopping, collecting of tables and gazebos to be done. This was the first time the music festival and the carnival have been run together. We have been asked by the organisers for feedback so they can make improvements for next year, please let the committee know your thoughts.

Well done to the lucky winners. The best Boot Planter, decided by public vote was won by Bridgette Taylor (Tudor Rose WI) and the winner of the cake decorating competition was Kira Marks. Well done to Kira and Bridgette.

Art Journaling

On Tuesday Kit will be introducing us to art journaling. Please bring.

an old newspaper or a magazine, this will be thrown away afterwards so anything will do.
an old postcard or two.
old tickets, labels, receipts, wrappers, envelopes or any flat ephemera you come across.

Hobby Swish

Along with art journaling, we will also be holding a hobby swish on Tuesday. This is a chance to bring some craft or hobby items that you no longer use, or perhaps never used. For each item donated you will be given a voucher, each voucher will entitle you to take an item away. Items for donation could be craft items, cooking equipment, knitting yarns, fabric, books or anything connected to a hobby or craft that is in good condition and another member may enjoy.

Classic Cars on the Green. Sunday July 2nd

This increasingly successful event is held on The Green in Station Rd in Hampton Village. We sell used books, CDs & DVDs if you have anything to donate or would enjoy helping on the stall please let a member of the committee know. This event takes place before our July meeting. Donations can be bought to the June meeting, or I expect Kit will have her drop box in front of her garage for donation They can also be bought to the green on the day.

Hampton Carnival 10th June 12pm-4pm

We are less that a week away from this years Hampton Carnival. Here is a reminder of what we are doing and what help is needed.

Cake Stall – On the field at Nursery Square.

We will be selling our usual home bakes, chutneys and jams. Please bring your goodies to the field area on Saturday morning. If you can stay and help decorate the stall that would be even better as we have a trophy to defend. If you can help with selling in the afternoon, please let Kit know so that we can put you on to the rota.

Picnic area/tea and cake stall – Nursery Square

This year there will be a designated picnic area in Nursery Square and the Combined Hampton WIs are providing the tea, coffee and cakes. It’s a huge task for us and the committee have been busy planning and arranging all the equipment and supplies. We still need your help on the day. In the morning to set it up and in the afternoon to serve. Its not too late to put your name on the rota, just give Kit a call or send her an email or text.
