Vacancies: – there is still a vacancy for a Church Warden and also for new members to join the PCC. A heartfelt thank you to Bart Hellyer who has retired after many years dedicated service to the church (and much appreciation for being the perfect host at meetings!) If you are interested, please contact Pippa Madgwick or Jes Salt.

Following a very successful collection of items for the Food Bank at our Harvest Festival may I remind everyone of the importance of continuing to donate.

As we head into the winter months especially with the impact of the end of the universal credit uplift and furlough coupled with rising energy costs it is now even more critical.

Items requested include tinned goods – potatoes, carrots, fruit and meat pies.

The collection dates for November are 10th and 24th.

Thank you for your continued support.

Our Remembrance Service will be held at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene & St. Andrew on Sunday 14th November at 9.30am, led by Revd Jes Salt.

All welcome.

Our first theatrical event was a resounding success, I am sure you would agree!

Everyone enjoyed a fantastic performance by the Ridlington Players of Miss Marbles ‘Death at the Deanery’. This was a first for the village and the cast enjoyed performing to a full-house at Manton Village Hall. I am sure there will be a new category for Oscar nominations next year!

Well done everyone and thank you for entertaining us with your spectacular performance.
