100 CLUB
We are always keen to extend our membership, and you can help us by taking part in our 100 Club Draw.   At the moment the draw is only Quarterly  (1st prize £100) because we have not reached 100 members yet.

The next Draw is due on  Saturday July 5th at a Coffee Morning in the Church 10.30am.  Do come along, no charge is made for coffee and biscuits, and  the last one was very well attended !

CHRISTMAS TREE FESTIVAL 
We are planning a Christmas Tree Festival the weekend of Sat/Sun 13th/14th December.  We hope to supply the many trees, but we would like you ( club, group or individual) to sponsor and decorate one of them.  There will be a light-hearted Christmas concert in the church at 4pm on the Sunday, for all to enjoy.
