CHURCHYARD WORK PARTIES

Heartfelt thanks are due to the members of the working parties who strimmed, trimmed and cleared the churchyard on Thursday, 2nd and on the morning of Sunday, 5th September. These planned tasks were carried out by Karen Baines, Neil Fairley, Steve, Barney and Joe Fox, David and Anne Harvey, Dave and Shelagh Johnson, John and Jacky Morrell and Richard and Debra Thatcher.

Special thanks to Richard Baines for removing the strimmings and clippings from the site.

A new management plan is being prepared for 2022 for volunteer work parties and will be placed in the church porch so people can identify volunteering opportunities.
