May we take this opportunity to express our many thanks to the villagers of Melbourn for their wonderful support of the 2015 Poppy Appeal with the total raised in the village being well over £3,500. Sincere thanks also go to the dedicated band of volunteers who undertook house to house collections and whose support has been invaluable once again. The Poppy Appeal is testament to the goodwill and generosity of communities throughout the country and last year over £40 million was raised nationally. Charity appeals rely on volunteers and we are always looking for additional support so if you do feel you would like to assist us in the future we would be pleased to hear from you. Thank you again Melbourn. Mike and Ann Swann, Local Area Organisers.
Thursday Luncheon Club We are delighted to say that lunch club is going so well. We have a relaxed, informal atmosphere and enjoy being involved with such a lovely group of people. Financial support is of course vital and we were overwhelmed with a donation of £740 from Kerry and Steve at the Black Horse. Many thanks to them and their customers for taking part in the weekly raffle. Melbourn Fete Committee and The Bridge Club also kindly gave us donations this year and we are fortunate to be further supported by the Parish Council. We have so many people to be grateful to, as without their support we would not have undertaken the running of the club initially or been able to continue to run. melbournmagazine
