The most recent event in a busy events programme at the council was pancake racing and a coffee afternoon on Tuesday (February 17). It raised £78.27 to add to the £3,246.16 running total that was reported to a recent meeting.

Council officials reported that a recent bingo event was well supported by locals who are keen to back the appeal for a cancer centre at the Princess Royal Hospital in Wellington.
