I wanted to share with you the
achievements of my knitting group, Yarn of Ale.
On the evening of the 19th November my
friends picked up their pins and knitted, none stop for 12 hours. They were not
only being sponsored for Children in Need but they were knitting for Operation
Christmas Child boxes.
A few of us went along to support them
throughout the evening which was only able to go ahead with the support Laura
and the rest of the staff at The Royal Exchange in Stone. The locals were
so generous and almost £300 was raised on the night, one local business man
even bought us Pie and Chips at 1am.
A massive thank you must go to The
Royal Exchange for letting us loose in the pub overnight. Also thank you
to George and everyone at The Blue Rooms for the beautiful pie and chips. And
thank you to everyone who donated and made the night a success.
To Claire, Jo, Jeanette, Alison,
Janine, Sheila and Rachael, well done, I am so very proud of you.
My final word go to Cheryl, the
landlady of The Royal Exchange. Cheryl was so 'up for it' when we told
her our silly idea back in June, but sadly, due to ill health wasn’t able to
enjoy the evening with us. Thank you so
much for your support over the years, we know you were there with us somewhere.
