Bingo 24th February  - Many thanks to everyone who helped with our bingo evening by donating bingo and raffle prizes and by coming along to play.  We were very pleased to have the help of Roger Harris as caller once again and to Trish Brown and Sally Hobbs on the door,  so a big thank you to them!  The evening raised £540 and we hope to see you all again next year!

Yard Sale Day 2012 - This has been  booked for Saturday 7th July. This is a great way for you to have a clear out and get rid of all that quality junk!  If you belong to a village group or organisation, have a group sale and raise money for your funds - if you let us know, we will put what charity/group you are raising funds for on the address list.  Booking forms will be available from 1st June.

Art Exhibition - 8th, 9th & 10th June 2012.  Following the success of our 2010 exhibition we will be doing it all over again. If you would like an artists booking form, please contact Susan Withers.

Festival of Light 2012 - Yes, it may be a  long way off, but so you have plenty of time to get those thinking caps on, this year's theme will be "CHILDHOOD".  Books, tv, games, music, school, day trips, anything goes, so get creative!

Recipe Book - These are selling well and we have received some good feedback on the recipes included.  It's a bargain at £3.50 per copy and can be purchased from The Fish Piper, Central Garage, St Mary's Church or by contacting us.

PRIVATE TOWER TOURS – Why not treat your friends and family to a private tour of St. Mary’s tower.  We have done a few of these to date and they have proved very interesting and enjoyable. For just £25 for a maximum of eight people you will be able to see the bells, clock and the fantastic 360o views from the top of the tower at a time to suit you. For insurance purposes the minimum age of visitors is twelve and sensible shoes must be worn as there is a short ladder to climb at the very top. For more details, to book your tour phone Barrie and Jackie on 01842 828770.

Penny Jars - Jars are still coming in as are other type of collection pots, from plastic bags to biscuit tins. However you collect up your loose change we are always pleased to recieve it!
