Hi Everyone, Looking at organising a MacMillan Coffee morning to raise funds for a fantastic charity and meet some of our neighbours. Some residents have advised they can make buns and the Winter Green will organise the event, with advertising, balloons and donate 5 large cakes to be cut up and sold. It would be great to get people involved, please use the poll to advise if you'd attend to make it a success. Thanks

Sounds like a good idea to me Dave but don't let this poll swing it for you, it won't be a true reflection on numbers. You'll get a better response from sharing on facebook. I think you should just go for it. If it turns out to be a flop then at least you can say you've tried. I think it'll be a success though.

You said it was a national day but you can change it a little? Would it be possible on the evening or a Sunday morning when most people are off? (I say most I'm just been outright selfish and meaning me) haha Otherwise it sounds a great idea, and for such a great cause so well done for organising

I think with every event it's going to be suitable for some and not for others.
Saturday mornings generally have more participation than Sunday's and evenings don't sound right, especially in a pub environment.
I feel best to keep as Saturday and my apologies you can't make it, hope you can donate some buns though!

Count me in. I'd also happily help out manning the bun stall if needed.

Morning! Emma, or more accurately, Ash, will be making the arrangements at the WG to get this up and running. I'll keep you updated so the budding bakers can do their stuff! Keep a look out in the WG Facebook page. Cheers.

Hi Guys, update from Ash at the WG, Emma asked to make the date the Thursday & Friday, but between Ash and I we have talked her round to go for Friday and Saturday, the aim being getting as many from the AMRC as possible on the Friday and loads of residents on Saturday. Really need to get the numbers in, I'm looking forward to putting faces to usernames and supporting a great charity. Please bring your families and friends and get that community spirit together we keep raising. Need lots of bakers for the Saturday, could people PM who will definitely be able to provide cakes and buns then that'd be ace! :-)

I'm working Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon so probably won't be able to come but I'll definitely do some baking and drop it round to the Winter Green.
