THE CHRISTLETON WEDNESDAY GROUP (LADIES)
The Group continues to meet on the first Wednesday of every month to plan its popular regular annual charity events in the Parish Hall such as the Spring Lunch, the Quiz Evening. and the cake stall at the Christleton Fete.
It has, however recently made some significant changes to their fund raising events. It has been decided this year in future to concentrate on smaller events run by small groups of individual members. These events will be advertised appropropriately as they occur.
