A great Spring Plant Sale in the open air
Saturday 7 May 2022 at the Vision Hall, Christchurch, Watling Street, Radlett Thanks to all of you for your great help whether setting up, dismantling, pricing, cashiering, supervising or growing (plants that is). All assistance greatly appreciated. And of course all you who bought the plants. We took £436 cash, £665.53 credit card, and £44.60 on the door. Take away the cost of the bedding plants and we made £870.13 profit! Not a bad days work and we got a few new members into the bargain. Another wonderful Radlett Village Event. Then we sold £77.00 worth outside The Store the following day. Thanks too goes to the guides - for the cakes and teas and the books for sale stall. |
