Woodbridge News (January 2012)
Hard to believe that a new year is already well under way. Looking
back at the end of last year, the Christmas Parcels project delivered
some 190 packages of seasonal groceries to people for whom Christmas
might otherwise have been just another day. Many thanks to everyone who
donated so generously in the store and sleigh ride collections – thanks
to Tesco, Martlesham heath for the opportunity to collect and special
mention to the staff who were tremendously supportive. Also worth a
special mention are the customers, staff and management of Budgens in
Woodbridge – this collection exceeding all previous records. We are
grateful to the students of Kesgrave High School who helped us
enormously on collections, packing and distributing the parcels – there
enthusiasm and energy was a joy to see and we hope to build further on
this partnership with the school.
2012 marks our 30th anniversary and we are looking forward to a couple
of social events before getting into the swing of preparation for the
Elmhurst Extravaganza, our traditional opener to the season of outdoor
events, this year to be held on Sunday 6th May – more details as
attractions are confirmed. Then on to the Jubilee celebrations, the
Woodbridge Regatta and the Martlesham Heath 10K and Fun Run before we
seriously celebrate the anniversary in October.
