Reminder
As per our NewsMail dated 26 June, David
and Jacky Cook are holding an Open Garden charity event in their garden
in Parsonage Lane. They have held Open Garden charity events in the
past, mostly for hospices and they have agreed to do so again, this time
for Demelza Hospice Care for Children.
David and Jacky are keen
gardeners and their large garden is ideal for holding such events. This
will be held on the afternoon of this Sunday, 22 July from 2-5pm at
Wychwood, 29 Parsonage Lane, Sidcup, DA14 5EZ. If you are free on that
day they would be delighted to welcome you to this event.
There
will be refreshments and home-made cakes served by the hardworking
Demelza staff and volunteers and there will be numerous stalls -
typically plants, books, jewellery, raffle, tombola, homemade
jams/chutneys or similar. Greenwich Concert Band will once again be
giving a concert and a classical guitarist will also be playing during
the Band's interval. Entrance is £3.50, children 50p, and the garden is
wheelchair-friendly. Please click on the poster for full details.

Due to the kind permission of a neighbour,
parking is in the field opposite provided there has not been excessively
heavy rainfall at the time making the field too muddy for car parking
(hopefully an unlikely event). If so, parking will be in the lanes as
directed by the Demelza stewards / marshalls.
Please
bring a fold-up chair or blanket and come and enjoy the music and
refreshments which will be available all the afternoon.
Naturally
it is hoped that the weather will be fine on the day so it is ‘fingers
crossed' that it is parasols rather than umbrellas, though there is
plenty of shade in the garden if it is very hot.
More details of
this event are on the Demelza website - www.demelza.org.uk - under
Challenges & Events.
Demelza is a very
worthwhile local charity and it is hoped that you will be able to
support its valuable work by coming along on the day. Please contact
Jacky Cook on 07885 764578 if you have any queries or wish to be sent a
map and directions.
