What is a Coffee Morning without cake?
The cakes and bakes at our St Andrew’s Coffee Mornings always go down well with a cuppa! But we wouldn't be able to offer such a glorious spread each month were it not for our brilliant Bakers Galore team - and not only is there enjoyment in the eating, the savoury and sweet delights help us raise money for various charities and for our church.
We welcome more bakers! If you’re not already one of those who contributes two or three times a year on the Bakers Galore rota (and, if you are – thank you!), would you consider joining the team? We’d love to hear from you.
For more information, please get in touch with Shirley Taylor: shirleytaylor06@gmail.com / 01992 302995. Thank you
