Well done!

As it was such an enjoyable experience last year we are again spotting Ospreys – they are nesting in Manton Bay on the Lyndon Reserve.

This year we will join the Rutland Natural History Society on Saturday 18th July.  Meet at Lyndon Reserve car park at 10:00.  £6.50 per person which covers entry to the Reserve and the benefit of an experienced guide.  Please let Jacky know if you would like to attend.

AFTERNOON TEAS – SUNDAY JULY 12TH

We hope many of you and friends can be enticed to this Sunday’s  Teas at the Village Hall from 3:00 – 5:00 pm.

If you can’t stay, because it is the men’s Wimbledon finals at 4:00 pm, then bring along a box and make up a “takeaway” from our delicious selection of savoury and sweet delights!

All proceeds will be shared between the Village Hall, Church and the Playing Field.

Many thanks for your support and hope to see you on Sunday.

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

Something a little different: two colouring books and pencils at the back of the church – just sit, relax and colour.

Another well written and plotted DI Ruth Hunter police procedural this month – the tension mounts in “The Harlech Beach Killings” – I would recommend this book.

Perhaps a little early to be thinking of Christmas stocking fillers but Ada Moncrieff’s “Murder at Maybridge Castle” – a Christmas mystery – might fit the bill.  Set in 1936 an innocent game of murder-in-the -dark turns into the real thing – a cosy crime caper.

FOOD BANK COLLECTION

Please continue to support this very worthwhile local charity – if every household donated one item a month the boxes would be full by the collection days – see the church notice board for details.

RIDLINGTON SINGERS

The concert on June 14th  was a great success and raised an amazing £603 for the MND Association and Ridlington Church funds.

Thank you to all who came, supported and donated so generously. A most happy occasion!
