Are you one of the 11% of the population who knows that the Parish Church is solely funded by the Parish’s own efforts? 

There is no funding from central or local government nor from the Church Commissioners. 

Just to keep our Parish Church open we need to raise nearly £33 each and every day.  Would you be willing to sponsor a day – your birthday perhaps or wedding anniversary? 

All donations, offers of regular giving or fundraising ideas, please contact Debra.

The last of this winter’s Souper Saturdays will be held at the Village Hall between 12 noon and 1:30pm on Saturday, 14th March once again featuring a choice of three soups (red, amber and green), bread and cheese scones.  We ask for a minimum donation of £5 towards the insurance premium for the church.

We hope to continue holding social events on the second Saturday of each month – more details in next month’s magazine.

Lots to participate in this month with more detail on the church notice board or from Debra. Save the dates…

The Big Plastic Count running between Monday, March 9th -15th.

Global Recycling Day on Wednesday, March 18th  – as part of your spring clean at home donate your pre-loved items to charity.

The village litter pick on Saturday, March 21st followed by a light lunch – please let Debra know if you can attend.  Meet at 3 Main Street at 10:30am.

Church and churchyard (weather permitting) spring clean on Sunday, March 29th at 2:00pm.

 

 

 

The date for the annual village litter pick has been revised. It is now going to take place on Sunday, March 22nd starting at 11:00. We will still be meeting at 3 Main Street.

Please let me know if you can help as there will be food at ours afterwards and we will need to know the numbers.

Many thanks,
Debra
