We are going to start each session with a simple lunch at 1pm and plan to finish at 3pm. We have chosen this time in the hope that those with young children will find it easier to make care arrangements. There will be no fee for the course, just the opportunity to make a contribution towards the cost of lunch! Read the brochure for more information and return the registration form by 25th June.

Gardening at the Vicarage Grateful thanks to all those who turned up last Saturday for the work party. We cleared lots of the garden and everyone involved has said how much fun they had catching up with and getting to know people as they worked together. We are planning another morning of work on SATURDAY 2 JULY, STARTING AT 9.30AM AT THE VICARAGE. Put the date in your diary and just come along - and please bring any gardening tools you have and your own gardening gloves if you have them. We will also need people to help clean inside the vicarage. Please bring cleaning products etc with you. We guarantee you will have lots of fun.
