News from Westfield

HALLOWEEN: This afternoon, the special party for Halloween takes place in the Community Hall, 4pm to 6pm, for 1 plus an apple. This is for primary school-age children and should be good fun thanks to the mums who decided to organise it. It would be appreciated if the older children who take to the streets after dark would please observe the posters that some residents are displaying which indicate non-participation in this custom.

PLOUGH: Tonight (Friday), the Dare to Wear Pink Contest is at The Plough Inn on the Moor. Entry is by a 2 donation for Breast Cancer Awareness and a 15 meal prize each will be presented for the best dressed female and male. Also, tickets for the Christmas raffle are available, also the Christmas menu.

All friends are welcome to the service for Pat Angel, formerly of Moorhurst, which takes place in Westfield Parish Church on Tuesday (November 4) at 2.15pm. Cremation follows. The Co-operative Funeral Services of 233 London Road, St Leonards, will forward any donations in Pat's memory to St Michael's Hospice.
