We look forward to seeing you there. **************************************** Last year we held a very successful Easter Egg Raffle with proceeds going to Royal Children s Hospital Good Friday Appeal. This is a very worthwhile cause close to our hearts so we are repeating this once more! If you would like to contribute some Easter Eggs could you bring them either to the Forest Hill Coffee Morning on Fri 9 th Feb or to the BHGC AGM. Win the Wizard Wrapper will once again prepare the raffle prizes and has requested the eggs to be at least of a medium size small eggs are very fiddly! The Easter Egg raffle will be held at BHGC Coffee Morning on Fri 23 rd March instead of 30 th March as that is Good Friday.
