Community Coffee and Cakes

Over the last six years the Monday Club has raised £11,000 for various local and national
charities through their monthly coffee mornings in The Swan Inn. Numbers recently have been
rather low, particularly in February, April and May when the coffee mornings have fallen in the
school holidays and many people have been away. For this reason, it has been decided not to
meet during July, August and October (half-term). The next three coffee mornings will have a
theme - June will be yellow to match the colour of Yorkshire Air Ambulance, September will be
blue for Sue Ryder and in November, a Christmas theme. The September event has always
