Ladies from the Seaford branch of the W.I recently held a Charity Luncheon in aid of Thank The Forces Charity.
The ladies pulled out all the stops and raised a massive total of £620.00 in their aptly titled 'Chocolate Run Luncheon'.

The ladies of the W.I also held a ‘decorate a box for a soldier’ competition and Thank The Forces representative and volunteer Norma Holt was asked to judge the best decorated box.
Norma said ‘All the boxes were beautiful, and such works of art, it was really hard to choose which one should win,  I chose three of the best, one that was covered with hand made quilting, it must have taken hours and hours to create the quilting and then cover the box, one covered in beautiful flowers  that will remind our troops of the greenery and colour of home, and one covered in chocolate wrappers, that may cause the recipient to have a bit of a drool, but we will send it for Christmas when temperatures are cooler and we can fill the box with lots of lovely chocolate!’

Grateful thanks must go to Ann Stock of the Seaford W.I who organised and ran the luncheon that ensured everyone had great food, great company and also raised such a large amount of money for a great cause.
