SPRING SERVICES
Candlemas was celebrated on the evening of 1st February.
Mothering Sunday
An enjoyable service took place on March 15th at 3pm in the Old School. Eighteen of us gathered to sing hymns, eat cake and drink tea. The hymns were chosen on an impromptubasis and the cakes were delicious! Thanks to Di and others who baked, served and created the flower posies.
Benefice Holy Communion Service
Twenty-four attended this service in our church on April 12th. We were pleased to have been accompanied by the Benefice Choir, our thanks to them for performing.
Dr CHRIS BROWN
Dr Brown sadly passed away on February 28th. He and his family lived in the village for many years and were active members of the community. Chris was a past Chairman of The Parish Meeting. Our condolences go to his widow, Margaret and her family.
QUIZ NIGHT
A very successful Quiz Night was held in the Old School on the evening of Saturday May 9th. Although not originally intended as a fund raiser, about £400 was raised, the majority of which will go towards traffic calming measures in the village. We are grateful to Susan and Richard for setting the questions and scoring, Jill and Rachel for preparing and serving food, Sara for selling raffle tickets, everyone who donated raffle prizes, Dawn for organising the drinks, Martin and Rob for running the bar and Fiona DG for helping to prepare the venue and for all her work on traffic and road safety issues generally, and everyone else who helped make the evening such a success. Thanks are also due to those who joined in with the washing up and clearing away on Sunday morning!
