Macmillan Coffee Morning – Avon Dassett 2016.
We had a very busy couple of days in The Reading Room with a great turn out of people, around 60 in total. Including donations received beforehand, Macmillan Cancer Support received £416.68. Huge thanks to everyone who supported this event, and to those who baked cakes, donated prizes for the tombola and helped out on the day. Thanks also to Stu Allsopp for taking the photos. 
The “Spot the Double Shot” game was won by James Lovell who correctly guessed the coffee cup with the “ship” on it as the winning cup.  His prize was an Amaretto Latte Coffee Hamper. 
Many Thanks again, 
Deb Watts.
