The St Mary's Aythorpe Roding Parochial Church Council is raising money to help keep the beautiful 13th century church of St Mary the Virgin open for all to enjoy future services.

Sallie Reynolds is a superb craftswoman and has a well known love of quilting. She has kindly donated one of her stunning handcrafted pieces for us to raffle off for this cause. The quilt is 127 x 112 cms and is shown in the cover photo of this fundraising page. Although I do have to say my photography skills have not done it justice so if you wish to see it before the raffle draw it will be on display at the Aythorpe Roding Village Teas on the 24th September.

For tickets purchased through Just Giving please email stmaryschurchaythorperoding@yahoo.com after you have made your donation and you will be emailed back with your raffle ticket numbers within a few days.

The raffle will be drawn on the 15th October after the church service. If the lucky winner is not present at the draw they will be contacted later that day via email to inform them of their win and to arrange a date and time for delivery.

The raffle tickets cost: £3 for 1, £5 for 2 or £10 for 5

Please donate the relevant amount, and of course you can buy more than 5, just work out how many you want, donate the relevant amount and I'll email you with a list of all your ticket numbers.

Many thanks for your donations and good luck to everyone who purchases a ticket whether it be online or in person from one of the PCC members.

The ladies of Aythorpe Roding PCC (Pat, Fiona, Sallie, Joan & Abi)
