BRING your baggins: No, not a hobbit-feast, but a new fundraising scheme for the Rotherwick Scout Group!

You fill a bag(s) with unwanted clothing, shoes, bags, belts, hats or soft toys and take it along this Saturday to the coffee morning at The Den, between 10.30am and noon, and thanks to the Bags4U scheme the Scouts will get paid based on the weight of the bags.

You clear out your cupboards and they get the funds; everyone wins!

There will also be a raffle, cake stall and hopefully a handmade crafts stall as well.

For further information, please ring Sue or Richard Whistler on 763118 or email them thewhistlers@btinternet.com.
