Over £400.00 raised for the Lincs/Notts Air Ambulance at the Leasingham Show !

A huge Thank You to all who came along and supported the Leasingham Show, held on Saturday 6th October  – a great success for this inaugral event  which attracted 150 people through the doors including supporters from the Lincolnshire Orchid Group , Fenlands Orchid Society & Hinckley Orchid  Society and visitors from many other areas, raising a massive £448.00  for the Lincolnshire/Nottinghamshire air ambulance crews. We are especially grateful to all those who helped out on the day with the organising, food and drinks and tombola etc – also the many people who helped us spread the word about the event in the form of posters and emails, special notices and put up the outdoor signs. A fantastic response without which we couldn’t have achieved such a brilliant day. This will be held again in 2019 – come along and enjoy the day and meet up with your friends and admire an orchid or two. The next show has been confirmed for Saturday Oct 5th 2019 at the Leasingham Village Hall, Chapel Lane, NG34  8LB

If anyone has any inspiring ideas for other table top-stalls, informative sessions, or who wishes to participate,  please contact Laurence direct on 07961 350053
