Volunteer opportunities
Due to the forthcoming retirement of several of our trustees, volunteers are required for a variety of opportunities including finance and fund raising. We are looking for proactive individuals who want to get stuck in and contribute to supporting this organisation that does so much to help our community.
Hay Travellers Club
We have just a few single rooms and a couple of double/twin rooms left for the Winchester trip at the end of April, so you will need to be in quick if you want to come along. Also, just a reminder that the final balance for the Winchester trip is due no later than the 16th of February.
Other News
Plans are afoot for Community Support to hold a Nearly New Sale. We would appreciate it if you could keep items of nearly new clothing, accessories, books, and bric-a-brac. Please do not bring anything into the office yet as we do not have the room to store anything. Details of the date and venue will be announced in the March issue.
For further information please contact Sandra or Roslyn, 01497 821031 (email:info@vbxhay2.wanadoo.co.uk)
