THANK YOU: Margaret writes “Thank you to everyone who donated jumble or helped in any way at last Saturday’s sale. Many hands made lighter work. It was a super day in many ways. There were over 170 people through the door, the queue was endless, all helping to raise £520 for Church funds. It was hard work but the result was worth it “

HEATING: There is good news to report from St John the Baptist church, the heating has now been restored after their recent bad luck. A definate reason to celebrate and give thanks.
