All offers of cakes, bring and buy items etc. most welcome - contact me, Ann Waine, via this medium or telephone 01923 268904. Henry Fraser is eighteen years old and lives with his family in Scatterdells Lane, Chipperfield. Just over 12 months ago Henry was paralysed in a freak accident while on holiday in Portugal. His family have now managed to purchase the special bike to keep his muscles toned but they will have ongoing expenses for his care, replacement equipment etc. and I hope to raise some money to contribute towards these. It would be great if we at St. Paul`s could show our support to this local family, so please do come along and enjoy coffee, chat, cakes and more!Ann Waine* If you are driving from Sarratt, go straight across the Royal Oak crossroads, up the hill, past the Garden Centre and Croft Lane is the next turning on the left.
