Bella and Milly are pictured handing over a cheque for £83 to Nightingale House Hospice in Wrexham from funds raised on the wine and water stall at this year’s summer fair. Thanks again to Zoe Mortimer-Hopwood for running the stall and enlisting her whole family.
Thanks to parents, family, friends and work colleagues that donated to our latest recycling fundraiser, netting us 326kg of old clothes which raised £163.
We will be doing another in the new year so please put any items to one side for our next collection.

Well done to all 33 Buckley gymnasts who competed in the three-day competition at Deeside which ended on Sunday.
Coaches praised the efforts of all the girls with lots of trophies and ribbons and some earned themselves places in competition finals in Cardiff following the results in the Welsh Gymnastics North Area Level 6 Novice and Level 5 Intermediate competition.
In the last round on Sunday, Lottie, Jeada and Lucy performed well, according to coach Shelley, along with other girls carrying off medals, including Sophie, Tegan, Emilia and Niamh to win first place in the team competition.
Coach Tara praised her team’s efforts with Ellie and Mia also winning medals.
Tara said she was “really proud”, adding that while there were a “few mishaps” competitions were a “learning curve”.
For some of the girls it was their first big competition and others performed four pieces for the first time too.
Coach Emily said she was “proud” as her team came 4th overall with Sophie, Loni, Amber, Ava and Olivia having a good competition.
Coach P said her and Tara’s group were “absolutely amazing” winning first place in the team competition.
