Safari Supper
2023-02-25 19:00 - 23:00 | All Saints Church, Cople, Grange Lane, Cople, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom
Friends of Cople Church will be selling tickets from January for the Safari Supper, which has always been one of our best supported events.
The date is set for Saturday 25th February 2023.
The evening starts off in the church where guests find out which host’s home they will visit for their starter, then onto somewhere else for their main and then back to the church for desserts, a drink and the raffle draw.
We are always happy to have new volunteer hosts, so please contact me if you want to host 4-6 guests for a starter or main course. Meal preparation expenses can be claimed back.
The ticket price will include a welcome drink as well as a three-course meal, so it is great value for money, & is an excellent way of meeting new people, especially if you are new to the village.
We are reviewing the exact format of the evening, given we need a certain number of host volunteers for starters & main course, however we would keep the safari element of the evening, but some aspects may change.
Tickets £17.50, price includes a Welcome Drink and 3-course meal
Wine will be on sale but feel free to bring your own
For offers of help or tickets please contact Miles Tetley 07738 999340 / milotetley@gmail.com or Charlie Porter 07790 335284

Wrap Up

Supported by Cople Tuesday Club and Sheerhatch RotaKids
Wrap Up is a project run by various Rotary Clubs working in partnership with Hands On London.
Its sole aim is to provide coats, that go directly to people across the UK, who struggle to keep warm during the winter months.
The Wrap Up campaign only runs for a short time each year. This year we will be collecting in Cople during the week beginning 6th November.
A collecting box will be located in the Church porch between 9.30am and 5.00pm daily.
What’s Needed?
Preferably heavy duty coats, in good condition, that are weather resistant, for adults and children.
Where will they go?
Coats donated to Wrap Up are distributed via homeless shelters, refugee centres, organisations supporting the elderly, women’s refuges, children’s centres and other charities helping people in crisis.
Where can I find out more?
FAQs and other information can be found at wrapupuk.org
