We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank those who support us in all other ways including regular donors, individual fundraisers, fundraiser supporters and Talking Gardens, all of whom make a huge difference and help us to maintain this wonderful space for the whole community.

Richard and Karen Baines would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all who joined us at home to “Play Dough” on Saturday, September 28th.
It was an extremely enjoyable evening which raised £200 for the Playing Field and Church Fund.
Richard demonstrated the making of an unleavened harvest loaf, making bread dough, moulding, baking, showing the difference between various flours, all the while answering questions.
While everyone’s dough creations were rising, and baking we had a supper party, much lifted by liquid refreshment brought by the guests.

£15 includes Drinks, light buffet and raffle ticket. All proceeds are in aid of Ridlington Playing Field and Church.
