Sad News: John Owen has passed away following a long illness. Please pray for Anne his wife, family members and friends who will miss him very much. If it is possible I will put the funeral details in when I have them. The Teddy Bears Fair went well, the furry friends positively flew down the zip wire as the wind was so strong and it was cold too. Cups of tea were readily grasped and Wendy’s lovely cakes devoured. A real shame if you missed the fun. Remember, we have a Post Office back in the Village, but for limited hours only to begin with, please use it so that we do not lose it. It will be open Thursday Mornings from 10am to 12 noon in our newly rebuilt Broad Oak Stores. 1st Brede Scout Group is still looking for Leaders for the Beaver and Cub section. If you feel you can spend 1hour and 1½ hours respectively once a week or even if you can help out, the current section leaders would be glad of the help as Cherry and Peter are running both sections at present. We have a thriving group and many children benefit greatly from belonging to the organisation, there is not much for children in the Village and we need to keep it going for their sakes. Please contact Colin Ward The Group Scout Leader 01424 852413 [email protected] if you can help.
