Thanks are due also to Richard Baines for removing the bags of clippings to add to his bonfire.
More volunteers requested for next year’s tidy and ploughman’s lunch.

Is it too early to mention Christmas yet?
This is just a reminder that we run a community charity Christmas card scheme. Sending your Festive Greetings along with a donation will help to keep the much needed village funds going. The monies donated will be shared between the Church, Playing Field and Village Hall.
Your cards will be pinned up in the porch of the Church for all to have the opportunity to read your message.
Please give your cards and donations to either Debra Thatcher, Ruth Lees and Pat Roome.
The Food Bank is issuing a “reverse” Advent Calendar this year. This will help those who wish to donate see what they need, thereby allowing the volunteers to pack and deliver the boxes in time for the Festive Season.
The next collection date from the Church Porch is on Wednesday, 30th November.
Please find below the link to view their website for the “reverse” Advent Calendar…

Please continue to give generously – the Food Bank will be under increasing pressure during the winter months.
Thank you
Debra Thatcher
Please find below the link for the Agenda for the forthcoming RPC meeting to be held on Wednesday, November 16th @ 7:30pm in the Village Hall. All members of the public welcome.
Alternatively this can also be found under the Minutes, Agendas and Accounts on the website.
The next Village Hall coffee morning will be on Friday, November 11th from 10:30 – 12:00 noon.
As this event falls on Remembrance Day, a Poppy Appeal box will be available for those who wish to donate to this very worthy cause.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Village Hall Trustees
The Village Hall’s North facing roof was in need of urgent repair and planning permission was granted to replace the current Collyweston tiles with imitation Collyweston.
This work has now been completed and has included the replacement of the rear extension roof, which was not in keeping with the rest of the building. This work will now ensure that we stay dry for the foreseeable future.
Upcoming dates to put in your diary are:
November 11th – 10:30-12:00 noon – Coffee Morning
December 16th – 19:00 – 23:00 – Social Evening
We look forward to welcoming you,
