On Tuesday St Mary’s Church will be holding their annual Sale of Work in aid of an overseas charity.  This year, following an extremely interesting talk from a member of the society, they will be raising money for The Mission to Lepers.  All proceeds raised will go for the support of the Mission’s hospital, Purulia Leprosy Hospital, in West Bengal.

A very worthy cause. I hope the money helps to ease the patients' situation.

And the parishioners must be admired for putting time and effort into setting up a Sale of Work. What sort of goods will there be?

The usual knitted comforts and baby garments. Various sewn items - we understand Mrs Hudson will be along for her regular replacement tea cosy and antimacassars. And other such beneficial items.

Very good cause! I also like your phrase 'knitted comforts' above.

They hope to raise a significant sum. There's always a market for good knitted comforts in sensible plain colours.

Excellent news...and such a worthwhile cause:-)
Any cakes?

There will be tea and cakes for those who wish to partake.

Hopefully they will raise enough money to make sure all the lepers in fact are lepers and not merely scrofulous.

We believe they are very careful in how they use their money and ensure the recipients are entitled to their aid.
