Chorleywood Apple Day - 6th October 11am-3pm

Apple Day is nearly here, so please put the date in your diary and come along. This year we are teaming up with Chorleywood Mums to offer even more activities for children, and we are again having our popular barbecue. Also new this year is an apple baking competition, Chorleywood's answer to the Great British Bake Off (but without the TV company and the stress), so do start planning what to enter. There will be prizes for the winning entries in the under 16 category and adults (16 and over). If you can put up the attached poster(s) anywhere to help us advertise the day please print off and use as needed. Also, we could still do with donations of apples for use on the day, so if you have any spare please get in touch.

See below for further details -
