FOStA is a charity set up to help maintain the fabric of the church. We work closely with the Parochial Church Council (PCC) to ensure that our ancient church is kept in good repair. Lots of work is being done this year – if you would like to know more, or contribute in any way to this effort, please contact westburyfosta@gmail.com
We are very pleased to hear that the work on the window which FOStA has raised funds for should be starting around the beginning of September. It’s not one of the stained glass windows, but it is most urgently in need of repair, with gaps letting the weather in and distorted support bars. This is our second project, after helping fund the new lighting, and we continue to raise funds for the other windows.
Events
Although we were disappointed that more people did not join us, the picnic in the churchyard was great fun as well as being a very friendly occasion, and those who attended learnt a lot about the church and churchyard by following Arthur Lewis’s churchyard quiz.
The next event is the Safari Supper on Saturday 14 September, starting in the church at 6.15pm. If you would like tickets (£20 a head/£40 a couple) please contact Rupert Smith at rawsmith1@hotmail.com or 07747 775674. Especially, please get in touch If you would be willing to host a course for four or more people (starter, main course or pud – and with a big discount on the ticket price). And please let us know any dietary requirements
