Parish BBQ

Thank you !

A big thank you to everyone who attended the BBQ. In particular many thanks to those that prepared, cooked and served the food… especially those getting up at 4am to start the food preparations. Well done to all those who helped with the set up and take down of the tables and chairs.  Clearly, a lot of effort is needed to make such days special and memorable. I’m sure you’ll join me in giving a big pat on the back to all those who helped. It was good to see so many parishioners at the event. We raised in the region of £400 , which will be put towards the running costs of the Parish.

Christmas Raffle:

After many years of promoting, organising & running the Christmas Raffle, Mike Lawrence Is standing down. We thank him for everything he has done to raise funds for the parish and wish him well in his ‘retirement!’. Therefore, we are looking for someone to take this role on from Mike commencing with this year’s Christmas Raffle. Please see Mike or me if you are willing to do this on behalf of the parish.
