Wonston Community Café

encourages the development of roots further up the stems, thereby increasing the yield.

Plant main crop potatoes. This is the latest month to plant main crop potatoes if you want a decent crop. A project? How about potting up some strawberries? Home grown strawberries are really delicious and they can be grown in pots either on the patio or indoors.

For our February café we were joined by Jane and Ann, members of the local North Hampshire committee of this month’s charity, Young Lives vs Cancer (formerly Clic Sargent). As well as bringing home made cakes for us to sell, Jane and Ann also sold raffle tickets and raised £135. In addition, we raised a magnificent sum of £320 from coffee and cake sales to donate to the charity.

Our thanks must go to our groups of regular supporters – the lady cyclists, ladies from the local aqua class (pictured here), friends and locals from the surrounding villages. We are now attracting visitors from all around Winchester with the mouthwatering display of cakes!

The next Community Café will be at the Victoria Hall, Sutton Scotney, 9.30am–12 noon on Wednesday 20th April when we will be raising funds for Winchester Talking Newspapers, a local charity which provides weekly recordings of extracts from the Hampshire Chronicle and a monthly magazine to those in the Winchester area.

We are a cash only café, last orders 11.45am, lots of free parking. Donations to our monthly nominated charity are always welcome. 2022 dates/charities already confirmed are: Wednesday 20th April Winchester Talking Newspapers Wednesday 18th May Hart Wildlife Wednesday 15th June Royal Agricultural Benevolent Fund Janis Kinnell
