Fun-dRaisers are holding a Spring Table Top Sale at the Scout Hut in Lamberts Yard, just off of Tonbridge High Street on Saturday 31st March.
There are still a couple of tables available, at a very economical £5. Can you let me know if you would like one?
Items being sold include the Fun-dRaisers Good as New Jewellery Stall, children's toys, comics, paintings, ceramics, cup cakes and much more.
Doors open to the public at 10.30am.
There is a 50pence entrance fee to help us raise money for charities.

Fun-dRaisers 2011 and 2012
Lots of news....
To round up all that we did in 2011 in a couple of paragraphs, we sent a cheque for £90 to Hospice in the Weald which was raised on the Fun-dRaisers Good As New Jewellery stall at the Tonbridge Kite Festivals in 2010 and 2011.
We had two events in the Lamberts Yard Scout hut, raising £50 for The Royal Brompton Childrens Cardiac Centre at a Good As New Clothes Sale. The second event held there was the Table Top Sale which raised £60 for Platform 51.
The Fun-dRaisers Ball in November held at the beautiful Salomons Centre just outside of Tunbridge Wells was a most successful event, with some really positive feedback, the raffle raised £70 each for both The Stroke Association and Tonbridge DisAbility Group.
The cheques for these have all been sent this week, hopefully we will get some feedback and mentions from all involved.
So all in all something to be proud of, we raised money for all the charities named, we help local businesses and organisations, we provided people with the opportunity to make money for themselves, we created social events and people got to spend time with friends new and old.
It became apparent as the year went by that running Fun-dRaisers by committee was ineffective, so all the members of the committee where asked if they wished to commit to defined roles. There were no takers, so the net was cast further.
Diana Knight was asked and we are pleased to say accepted. I hope you will all join me in welcoming Diana on board Fun-dRaisers. xxxxx
So what's planned for 2012?
We will be raising money all year for three named charities rather than each event being for a specific charity. This means that every charity will receive the same amount, which seems like the fairest way.
A Spring Table Top Sale on Saturday 31st March at Lamberts Yard Scout Hut, 10-2pm. Tables are bookable in advance and are a very reasonable £5. We are in negotiations with Tonbridge & Malling Council with regards to the cost of parking near to this venue and we will let you know what has been agreed as soon as we know.Fun-dRaisers will have their Good As New Jewellery Stall and for the first time a Fun-dRaisers Home Baked Stall. Entrance will be 50p. Refreshments available on the day.
A Pampering Night Out at St Johns Church, Hildenborough on 28th April between 7 -10pm. A relaxed evening with therapists providing sample treatments, on offer are micro-dermabrasions and Indian head massage for a minimal cost. Food and soft drinks available and the church have agreed that you can bring your own alcoholic drinks with you if you wish. Why not get a group of friends together and enjoy a relaxing treat or two. Tickets are available at £10 for 2 treatments /£15 for 3 treatments.
A very affordable amount to try out different treatments.
A Summer BBQ is planned - more details to follow as soon as confirmed.
Possible events of a Fun-dRaisers Band Night and Pub Quizzes are being looked into and then on December 1st we will be holding a Christmas Table Top Sale at the Lamberts Yard Scout Hut, Tonbridge.
Finally if you want to raise money for a specific charity and have an event in mind, its likely that we will be able to help.
