Stoneleigh Charity Open Afternoon A Success

Stoneleigh staff and residents would just like to thank everyone who supported the open afternoon last Saturday.

They raised £396.00 for their chosen charities from admission, tombola, cake and plant stall, and guess how many sweets in the jar which was won by Karen Kirby.

Stoneleigh also raffled a lovely fruit basket which was kindly donated by Browns Greengrocers in Pocklington and a cushion which had a pattern embroidered to the front of it by our oldest resident Joe Thompson. It took Joe over a year (on and off), to complete the cushion, and at 98 years and 186 days old, this was no mean feat!


The cake stall was expertly run by one of our resident's, Peggy Williams, who did a mean selling job on anyone who came within a two metre radius!


It was a lovely afternoon and the weather was kind. Some of the residents even played cricket!

Thanks again to all who supported the event.

Just to say that there are still some plants for sale so if anyone is interested then call round to Stoneleigh and have a look at the plants for sale.
