Mosedale Coffee Shop
2011: Thank you to everyone who made Mosedale Coffee Shop at the Quaker Meeting House, Mosedale, such a success again this year.
We made a profit of £3,906.22p – a little bit down on last year but still nearly £4,000! It has been wonderful teamwork again by all the fifty seven volunteers: the bakers of cakes and biscuits, the soupmakers and the coffee shop helpers! The volunteers came from all corners of our seven parishes, as did the Bric a Brac donated to the barn, and the art and craft work from local artists and authors.
