To celebrate the International Day of Forests, an excursion to Prior’s Coppice.

LITTER PICK – Saturday, 15th March
Meet at 3 Main Street at 10:30. Please let Debra Thatcher know if you are able to help as part of The Great British Spring Clean – as Keep Britain Tidy says eliminate litter, end waste and improve places. Light lunch provided.
THE LONGEST YARN – Sunday, 16th March
A trip to Peterborough to view the 80 knitted and crocheted panels depicting the D-Day Landings. Car share may be possible. Lunch available in Peterborough. Please let Debra Thatcher know if you wish to attend.
GLOBAL RECYCLING DAY – Tuesday, 18th March
A reminder that recycling protects natural resources, saves energy and combats climate change. Even better – don’t buy it in the first place
Choose a book to borrow or buy from the wide selection of books available in the church:
New this month – a biography of Queen Anne by David Green – thoroughly researched but quite heavy going.
Ditto for the novel “News from Nowhere” by William Morris – now known for his designs – his view of an ideal society where all work should be creative and pleasurable.
Also available, “Fatality in Fleet Street”, another of the Sprigg novels about crime reporter Charles Venables – well plotted and with plenty of clues as befits a 1930’s crime novel.
