The Friends of Welland bingo night at the Village Hall last Saturday night was a great success, though not well attended. Those who did go enjoyed themselves to the full and the profits are going to the Welland memorial for those in the parish who gave their lives during the last two World Wars.

The Pheasant at Welland is holding the Welland Pre-School charity auction tonight (Friday) at 7:30pm prompt, viewing and registration from 7pm. There are over 100 lots.

The Cordery Club has announced that there will be no meeting on May 5 (due to their venue being used as a Polling venue), so the next meeting will be on Thursday, May 19 at the usual time (activity to be announced). On June 2, there will be a mystery trip and tea, so put that date in your diary.
