Brightling Cafe this Saturday

We’ve been asked to pass on this notice about the Brightling Cafe on Saturday 30 October 10am-12 noon, at Brightling Village Hall.
Judy from Asselton Cakes & Preserves will be selling her homemade cakes, quiches and marmalades. Treat yourself to coffee or perhaps a Halloween hot chocolate with marshmallows and a slice of cake, then try your hand at pumpkin bowling. Bring a pumpkin or borrow one of ours … there will be wine for the winner.
And for children some biscuit decorating – make them really scary then eat them!

If you have any surplus produce for the MAD (Made And Donated) community table or have anything you want to sell bring it along on the morning – no charge to sell (no cakes please – Judy’s sells those).
