Today is
Good Companions

The Annual General Meeting was held on the 27th November when it was revealed that the organisation had completed another very successful year, through the hard endeavours of the ladies of the Committee, under the guidance of their chairperson, Miss Vi Packham. Sufficient funds were raised to enable the Good Companions to make generous donations to various other organisations within the Village, and to provide flowers and other comfort gifts to the sick or bereaved, and to those in particular need.

If by chance, you are not a member of the Good Companions, may I urge you, and your family, friends and neighbours, to consider joining, by contacting Mrs Beryl Woods on 842195. The fee is only £1 per annum and couldn't be spent on a more deserving organisation, which has the interests of all age groups within the entire village at heart. Your support will be much appreciated.
Their next function will be the Senior Citizens' Party, held at the Village Hall on Sat. 29th Jan 2005 at 3.00pm. All Senior Citizens living in Brockham are welcome. Tickets will be distributed and can also be obtained from Strood Green Post Office and other shops.

The Good Companions Special Announcement is, that the next "All Village Concert" will take place on the 11th & 12th March 2005. This is a Competitive Event with Trophies to be won, so please consider entering your particular organisation, to make this a "Bumper Show"! Entry forms will shortly be sent to competing Societies, and it is hoped there will be an enthusiastic number of entries for this occasion. "Be sure you take part in this Special Annual Event. It is great fun"!

About Good Companions

BROCKHAM GOOD COMPANIONS is an organisation where a group of very industrious ladies, work throughout the year, in order to raise funds for the benefit of all ages, within the village of Brockham.

Posters at various points through the year advertise their extraordinary calendar with:
"Tea, or Coffee Morning", with Hot X Bun, during the Easter period.

"Coffee Morning" in the month of May.

"Strawberry Tea" In July

" Tea on the Church Lawn" on a summer, Sunday afternoon.

" The All Village Concert", which is an annual competitive event in March.

Most of these functions have a `Bring & Buy Stall' and usually a raffle. Money raised at these functions is used to provide flowers or pot-plants for the Sick or Bereaved.

A little acknowledgment for "Milestone Birthdays" of the elderly. "Golden Weddings", and pots of bulbs for the Senior Citizens at Christmastime.
A little financial help for those, perhaps, in desperate need.

Occasionally help to buy small equipment for our local surgery. Donations to St. Catherine's Hospice, Contributions to the funds of other local organisations, and a Mammoth New Year Tea Party with entertainment, in January, for the elderly within the village.

The membership fee for this group is only £1 per year and couldn't be spent on a more worthy organisation. Your help in running the various functions by means of donations or raffle gifts or items for their `Sales Stall' would be greatly appreciated and for further information, please phone the Chairperson:- Vi Packham on 01737 - 843730.
