Pumpkin Festival Success!

Alvechurch’s first Pumpkin Festival took place in the Village Hall on Saturday 28th October.  It was a great success, with about 100 pumpkins of various types (home grown, carved, craft) on display and pumpkin-themed food and cakes were on sale in the small meeting room.  More than 300 people visited the Hall during the day, and over £900 was raised for the Village Hall and our chosen charity, Papyrus.  Thanks to everyone who contributed a pumpkin, who helped out on the day, and in particular to our wonderful and hard-working Pumpkin Committee!  Plans are already underway to repeat the event next year.  You can see a gallery of photos from the day below.

Co-Op Community Fund Update

In the second round of the local Co-Op Community Fund, we were very lucky to receive £974.52!  Many thanks to the Co-Op and to all those who chose us as their charity.  This money will go towards delivery of our five year plan.
