By the time you receive this I am sure you will have given lots of thought to your Christmas preparations, the ladies at least .I hope you will also give some thought to joining us at some of our Christmas Services as this is a wonderful time of the year to come together and celebrate the essence of Christmas. To this end you will find a list of services at the end of this article and we look forward to welcoming you at some point over the Christmas period.

We begin our celebrations on Friday 16^th December with a Christmas themed afternoon tea with festive entertainment in the Village Hall from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. This replaces our December coffee morning as we thought it would be good to do something a bit special for the Christmas season. Those who come regularly will be encouraged to bring someone new along with them but you do not need a specific invitation and all will be most welcome.

There is no charge but we will be accepting donations to Hope House Hospice. Please come and join us if you can.

Our November coffee morning was well attended as we were treated to a cookery demonstration by the “Pampered Chef” and we were then able to sample some of the goodies she had cooked. Many thanks to Pat and Rob for hosting the event and allowing their house to be turned into a cookery school. It was a most enjoyable morning.

A January diary date to be noted is Thursday 19^th when we will be holding our usual coffee morning at the home of Kath and John Evans from 10:30 am to 12:00. Please come along if you can.
