FOOD BANK COLLECTIONS

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.

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

Here are two from one of my favourite modern day authors – Sebastian Faulks.

The first “Engleby” is narrated by a 1970’s student.  I couldn’t put it down when I read it first some years ago – a good read, but slightly disturbing.

The second “A Week in December” was perhaps not as good as it could have been – set in a week in December in 2007 recounting the lives of seven characters living in London and how they interlink.

Two non-fiction books as well:

“Gardening Tips” by Steve Brookes – I might pursue his tip to prevent slugs eating hostas and

”Contract Bridge for Beginners” – not a game I play so cannot comment.

Please feel free to borrow any of the books at the back of the church. If you would like to buy one, please make a donation.

DEATH AT THE DEANERY

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.
