A follow up to “On the Loose”, “Bryant and May off the Rails” charts the Peculiar Crimes Unit’s pursuit of the fugitive Mr Fox – well written page turner.

One to dip in and out of and plenty to amuse – “The Prime Minister’s Ironing Board and Other State Secrets” by Adam Macqueen recounting true stories from declassified documents in the government archives.

Forget the Da Vinci Code, history this month is covered by Steve Tibble’s work “Templars – the Knights who made Britain” – diplomats, bankers, lawyers as well as fighting for the Holy Land.

And on a more philosophical note, “Conversations about the End of Time” with contributions by Stephen Jay Gould, Umberto Eco and others – thought provoking.

The next collection date is October 15th from the church porch.

Since April of this year the Oakham based charity has received over 200 referrals and continues to need our support.

Items requested are for packed lunches, cereal bars, small jars of coffee, tinned meat and pies, microwaveable rice sachets, porridge sachets, shaving gel and deodorant.

The next monthly walk will be held on Saturday, 11th October.

We will meet at 10:00 am in the church porch. Let’s car share to Uppingham Arboretum to enjoy the sights of autumn followed by light refreshments.

Please let Debra Thatcher know if you will attend.
