Shepperton Aurora Cheques Awarded

On Saturday 29th January, representatives from eight local charities joined members of Shepperton Aurora at The Ferry Coffee Shop, Shepperton Lock to receive cheques from the Club totally over £4,000. The eight local charities, Thames Sailability, Cruse, Purple Angels, the Greeno, the Lourdes group, Paxmead Girl Guides, Cameo and the Black Swan Sea Cadets received the much needed funds from the Christmas collections undertaken by Shepperton Aurora during December. “The generosity of our local community never ceases to amaze us” said Colin Barnard, President of the Club “we are delighted to help such great local good causes and we thank all those who donated.” Each year the Club, who are always looking for new members, donates around £14,000 to good causes locally, nationally and internationally.

We are sad to announce the death of a much-loved resident of Laleham, Mrs Doris Mynott [83], who sadly passed away at Whitegates Nursing Home on Monday 10th January 2022. She was married to Eric [91] for 64 years and had been a resident of Laleham since 1962, when she moved here with her husband and son Ernest, who was 2 years old. Doris was a bubbly and happy person and enjoyed working as a School Dinner lady at Laleham School until she retired. She had a love for Penguins and her favourite flowers were Fressias. Her funeral was on Thursday 3rd March at St Mary's Parish Church in Sunburyon-Thames and was laid to rest in Sunbury Cemetery.

Donations are being accepted by Lodge Brothers in Shepperton for St. Peter's Hospital.
