Craft club ladies with their Christmas decorations: Saturday 19th Dec

16th Dec 2015

An enjoyable Christmas Bingo evening was held at the Pavilion attended by 35 people with free refreshments served at the interval. £206.50 was raised for the Pavilion funds.

12th Dec 2015

Saturday 12th December was a miserable day for drizzle and rain but a lovely day inside the pavilion. 22 stall holders with their festive goods made the pavilion a centre of excellence in all things Christmassy – the quality of the stall holders goods was excellent and, with such a variety of homemade items, everyone was able to do some of their Christmas shopping. Each stall holder, as part of their fee, also gave us a handmade item for the raffle and it was one of the best raffles I have ever seen. My thanks to all the stall holders – the event would be nothing without you.

The café was busy all day and many compliments were received for the cottage pies (vegetarian and meaty) and particularly for the bacon and bean soup which proved as popular as ever! It is a joy to cook for people who enjoy the food!

My thanks to the trustees for lifting all the tables and chairs for me, and for manning the door, raffle and tombola. My thanks to friends &amp family : Barbara, Christine A, Sheila, Christine H, Jane, Aunt June and Mum for phenomenal stamina with washing up and at the stove. I was at the hatch on drinks, so got the pleasant job of being able to talk to everyone while I made them their complimentary drink! (mind you – I had cooked all day the day before so it was nice to do the public bit on the day).

The whole event raised £808-20 for pavilion funds. As this is my last event in aid of the pavilion I really wanted it to be a good one and I do hope you all agree it was.

My thanks to the trustees for the lovely flower arrangement thanking me for my 13 years working towards the completion and support of this superb community resource.

Many of you passed on good wishes to Josie, who was absent from the Fayre due to her recent surgery. I have passed these on to her and she knows you will all be thinking of her when she has her radiotherapy in the new year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, with every good wish for the future success of the Memorial Pavilion. Alirae.

If you don’t already know about NOWZAD Dogs and their Bra appeal please look them up and get any unwanted bras you have to any Ranger or to Biddy Bunkle, June Ringwood or Vickie May for Alirae to collect and send off.

8th Aug 2015

Craft Club Saturday August 8th. Felt Mice – a lovely morning of cutting out and sewing and stuffing! (see the two photos of ladies busy sewing) Whilst none of the adults quite finished their mice (it was a bit of a challenge in 3 hours!) they all know how to so I hope to be able to post some photos next month if they bring them back to show. Our 2 youngest members did finish theirs but Granny took them home before I could take a photo. To make life easier for them I had enlarged the pattern to 150% so they could do running stitch which is much quicker than blanket stitch and had also cut out their felt pieces before they arrived (see the example below). Thanks to Aunt June for keeping us all on the straight and narrow and for keeping this Woman’s Weekly pattern alive for the last 40 years! £70 was raised for Pavilion funds.
Next month we are making a Memory Album and the month after we will scrapbook it with peoples own photos. If you would like to join us and would like your Memory Album to have a special cover then please blow up your photo to fill a full page of A4 paper (not photo paper) and print it off then your album will be especially personal! We hope to see you there on Saturday 19th September 9am to 12 noon.

8th Aug 2015

Pavilion Lunch Saturday 8th August – our last lunch, not many people about but everyone said how much they enjoyed the food, certainly the pavlova all went so we know that’s popular! A few converts to Key Lime pie too! Our thanks go to Josie for doing all the shopping and cooking this time (except for the most excellent beetroot chutney!!), even homemade bread which was truly delicious with the ploughman’s. Thanks also to Robin and Christine for all their hard work at the event, and to Sharon & Pauline for the raffle and stall. £116 was raised for pavilion funds.

18th July 2015

Craft Club Sat 18th July – a very quiet morning as we clashed with Burnham Market Carnival and flower show so not as many people came but those that did concentrated hard on the placement of beads to make them look like they were floating in mid-air using an invisible thread and clamp technique. Beautiful jewellery was produced but my apologies I let the ladies go without taking a photo! £30 was raised for pavilion funds.
Next month (Aug 8th) please bring a small sharp pair of scissors – we are making felt mice, see photo below.

18th July 2015

Pavilion Café Sat 18th July – again a quieter day due to such a busy summer calendar but we still served just over 20 lunches, most people going for the £5 meal deal. We had cheddar, Stilton and pate ploughman’s or Tomato soup for main (As no one wanted soup I won’t make one for August) followed by pavlova (a choice of 2 types) or blackcurrant mousse, chocolate or lemon curd cake for pudding. A huge thank you must go to South Creake Rangers for at the very last minute making the raffle prizes (as none had been donated this month) of a gorgeous butterfly bag (Well done Sophie B) and stunningly lemony lemon curd (Alice always says she has no patience but she concentrated on that lemon curd for ages and didn’t let it curdle), to Bid for the eggs, to Sophie D for making delicious beetroot chutney and as always to Josie for the shopping and cakes, sausage rolls and scones. £90 was raised for pavilion funds.
Next month pavilion café on August 8th will be the last we do straight after Craft Club so check the website or Creake News for any future café dates. If anyone else would like to run a café on behalf of the pavilion please speak to Alirae or any Trustee.

27th June 2015

Pavilion Quilters Saturday 27th June – Quilt-as-you-go Placemats
What makes this such a happy event is that everyone comes prepared to share all their sewing experiences with each other and the chatter going round the hall is amazing! At any time you can hear someone just picking someone else’s brain and little tips on how to do this bit that will help a sewer for the next decade! The jolly crew, whilst all working on the same design, made such diverse fabric choices that you will be able to see in the photo that the placemats all looked very different. A beautiful day – £120 was raised for Pavilion funds.
At our next Pavilion Quilters on Saturday Sept 12 we are making Thread Catchers – please text Alirae to book your place and get the instructions on 07770893706

They have decided to carry on with beading next month so we will try 2 string necklaces and maybe knotted necklaces then – of course with earrings to match! £50 was raised for pavilion funds.

The wider selection meant it took us a little bit longer in the kitchen but everyone said it was worth it. Thanks to Rodney Wakeman for the rhubarb as the rhubarb sponge and custard went down well. Did you all see our new banners on the bridge? Special thanks to Sue Cutler for these and we hope they will bring in lots of trade over the months to come. £130.50 was raised for pavilion funds.

16th May 2015

Craft Club Sat 16th May – a morning spent starting to make Rag Rugs. The ladies and girls spent their time making up their design, cutting their tee shirt fabric and learning to use the rag rug tools to start making their rugs. A chatty morning as this was one where you could easily talk and work! See the photo below to see how far they got in 3 hours but they promised to bring back the finished items next month! £70 raised for pavilion funds. Next month (Sat June 20th) we going to do beginners jewellery starting with basic beading. All welcome. £10 a session.

As usual we also had cakes, scones, sausage rolls and bacon sandwiches. Most people go for the £5 meal deal (main, dessert and a hot drink). It is always a lovely friendly room of people and you can hear such a lot of chatter its just how the pavilion should be used! £158 was raised for pavilion funds. Next months date is 18th July and will follow a similar format. Please remember we are also happy to do take away food.

25th April 2015

Pavilion Quilters met for the first time on Saturday 25th April – the hall was busy with the buzz of sewing machines, chatter and so colourful as everyone worked with different fabrics. The end results were superb although some people did have a bit of finishing off to do at home – I hope they will bring the finished items back next time so we can do a photo as I forgot! It felt like a really happy day with comments such as ‘a day to spoil myself sewing, I would never let myself do this at home’ and ‘its so nice to be with like minded people’. With 14 people sewing we were able to give the Ranger Guides a small donation for letting us use their fabrics and have raised £120 for Pavilion funds. Superb.
Our next day is Sat 27th June when we are making table mats using a different quilting method – to book your place and get details of materials needed see Alirae, ring Vickie (01328-823398) or email Robin robin@rmaslin.fsnet.co.uk £10 for a really friendly day we hope to see you there.

Craft Club Sat 18th April – 3-D Decoupage cards this time building on last times skills but lots of concentration needed for precise cutting out! Fabulous pictures of birds, wildlife, elegant ladies and wedding themes were produced. We had 2 extra ladies this time who just enjoyed being with a group of like minded crafters and chatting for the 3 hours whilst making something nice. These mornings really are a relaxing time away from the chores of everyday life and you go home feeling you have achieved something. Thanks to Alirae, June and Sophie for running the event. A profit of £81 was raised.

Next time ( May 16th 9am to 12 noon) we are having a break from card making and are going to try our hands at Rag Rug making so if you would like to join us come along with any old Tee shirts you are happy to cut up and a Rag Rug tool if you have one (not a latch hook tool we will save that for another month!).

Pavilion Lunch Sat 18th April – the hall was buzzing with chatter, people moved from table to table to chat and it felt just how a village event should feel. This time the hot meal was Cottage pie and Veg and we sold out of that. We also did some take away portions for people in the village – this is a great idea and we are happy to do this and could even deliver if you let us know what you would like. As the weather improved we may also try adding some ploughman’s lunches to our menu. Thanks to Josie, Christine, Alirae, June and Sophie in the kitchen, Vickie on Tombola and the Trustee chaps on raffle. £128.50 was raised. Next one is May 16th 12 – 2pm

Sample menu: Soup and pudding meal deal £5. Hot main course £4. Ploughman’s & pudding meal deal £5. Sandwiches £2. Cakes £1. Sausage rolls, cheese scones £1. Drinks £1.

4th April 2015

Craft club Sat 4th April – a lovely friendly group of 8 plus Alirae June and Sophie. for this first meeting we started on basic card making looking at matting and layering papers, using the cutting tools to be precise in measuring, then embellishing with Easter themed items and also making birthday cards. These basic skills will help with the next class. Everyone went home with about 6 or 7 cards! The group are using up the remaining craft items belonging to the former 1st South Creake Guides as Alirae felt it was important to use the items to help the new Memorial Pavilion with things that fundraising in South Creake had previously helped her to buy. A profit of £60 was raised.

Pavilion Lunch Sat 4th April – again a very friendly affair, the fabulous new kitchen allows us to do a wider range of foods so in addition to our usual Soup Lunch £5 meal deal (which includes pudding and drink) we were able to do a hot lunch of Lancashire Hotpot and Veg a bargain at £4. The snack items of scones and hot sausage rolls were also popular so although we could easily have catered for more people a profit of £100 was raised. Thanks to Josie, Christine, Jane, Sophie and Alirae in the kitchen, Vickie on Tombola and the Trustee chaps on the raffle. Those attending all commented that we needed road signage at the Pavilion so we have bought an A frame notice board to stand outside the pavilion on Lunch mornings just to remind people that we are open.

The very first event in the newly opened pavilion was an absolutely outstanding success! The Christmas Fayre attracted around 450 people (we can not say exactly how many as we lost count after the first 100) and we have worked out the approximate number by the adult entrance fee takings on the front door, £412, and guessed the number of children that did not have to pay to get in. The Cafe made an incredible £257.60, the Raffle made £263, the Tombola £194 and the stall fees made £240, giving a grand total of £1,366.60.
The stall holders had a great time selling and some of them sold out their stock completely. Most of the cakes donated for the cafe have all been eaten, but with a couple left over being added to the raffle as prizes.
The comments on the building and the event were all extremely favourable; in fact we did not have one complaint or a bad remark. Some of the visitors just could not get over the size of the interior rooms and the quality of the finish of the building. The trustees are justifiable proud of their efforts over all those eleven years of fundraising to be able to get the building constructed! Well done to everyone!!
For future events in the building please check the Future Events page for full details.

Considering this was a wet start and there was not much traffic, we did very well.

Very many thanks must go to the Girl Guides and their friends who will be running them.

The next event was our ‘big one’. It was the ‘Fun Day’ held on 27th September on the playing field between the bowls green and the children’s play area. There were sales stalls, children’s games, (which some adults partook in as well!), a display of the plans and a model of the new pavilion, light refreshments were provided such as tea/coffee and a bun, soft drinks from the Ostrich Inn, and the highlight of the afternoon was the resurrected boat race. Over 380 boats were ‘purchased’ for a £1 each and they were all released together at 4pm. Great fun was had by all watching ‘their’ boats flowing down the river. The three winners were delighted with their prizes of £25, £15, and £10. Once again very many thanks go to all those helped in any way to make the day such a great success and we were blessed with beautiful weather. The total raised was £1,015.

July 2008

Once the decision was made on the design of the building, thoughts were then directed onto how we can get the funding we require to build it? So it was decided to start small and work our way up. We therefore held our first event which was a wayside stall at the bus shelter, this raised an incredible £363. A very nice sum for just selling items like cakes, jams, pickles, secondhand items and a raffle. All the items for sale were donated and we would like to take this opportunity in thanking all those who gave items and their time.
