Children’s Afternoon Party (with special guest) 2pm to 3.30pm: To make sure the children aren’t left out (and are tired out for the babysitters!) we have organised a party for all ages on the same day. We will have a special guest appearance giving out presents to the younger children so please confirm ages when you book tickets, again by 2 December if possible to help us plan catering.
Flag Flying: You can help to raise funds by having the Union Jack or the Flag of St George flown in honour of any special event (other flags can be flown if you supply them!). The Flags can be flown at the Village Hall in aid of Village Hall Funds or on the flagpole outside the Church in aid of Church Funds. Please contact Cyril Webb on 560437 in either case.
