Mannington Hall

,

Volunteers from PBL manned a stall at Mannington Hall at Lady Walpole’s request as it was her hospice charitable day.  We ran a raffle and people were very generous and we made £40.00. We made friends with lots of the other volunteers from the other Hospices – The Nook, Tapping House, and the East Coast Hospice. We were given some help by these lovely folk to put up our gazebo.  The one that we had borrowed was green and white stripes and it looked rather fine. We also pinned our new logo to the front and it was great to see so many visitors. Lord and Lady Walpole visited all the stalls and were delightful hosts for the day.  There was a children’s book sale inside the hall.  The grounds were looking beautiful.

Suzanne and Pam survey the lawn before putting up the gazebo.

 

 

Norwich Splinters Scooting Club

,

People are so kind and generous to PBL and this was just such a case with the Norwich Splinters Scooting Club who raised £300.00 for PBLSG. They also took the time to come and give it to the staff at PBL.

 

Norwich Splinters Scooter Club was formed in 2007 by friends who enjoyed the scootering scene, & among our friends (or extended family as we see it), we all enjoy the music and the scooters.

One of our family members Mr Darren Evans, recently lost his mum to cancer so Norwich Splinters Scooter Club held a evening of amazing scootering tunes, where scooterist from many different scooter clubs attended and donated, with all proceeds in memory of Mrs Kathleen Evans, were donated to the Pricilla Bacon Lodge, for all the amazing support they gave Trevor Evans, devoted husband and sons Darren & David Evans, and continue to do amazing work for other family’s.

Another really successful weekend at Roberts wonderful shop in Elm Hill!

Again Robert was so helpful and kind and also gave us a fabulous bear to raffle – it had wonderful psychedelic hair and the children loved him.

We made £400.57 which was amazing. So thank you Robert and Lynn and everyone at the Bear Shop and all  The Bear Shop Girls, Sylvia, Carolyn, Pam, Nina, Teresa, Jan, Ruth Pat ,Gill, Rita, Rachel, and our very own Catherine who kindly joined us this time despite all her duties as Volunteer Administrator.

And a big thank you to Kate from Katering4U too  – who gave us a wonderful Coffee Cake this year after bringing  an equally delicious cake last year.

NB Robert is opening his Magic Garden again for the Norwich Heritage Days in September (7th 8th 9th 10th ).  If you’d like to help please let me know.
