Remember the china mugs with the picture of the ‘old’ and ‘new’ church on?  Tina has two for sale.  Price is £5.00 each.  If you are interested, please see her. Please take a copy of autumn events from the board.

Chocoholics Catalogues are now here.  Please take one and have a look.  If you want to order, please do so. If  you  don’t  please  return the catalogue as soon as possible for someone else.  Remember, popular items do sell out fast.

We are now planning our spring /summer programme.  If you have any suggestions as to new events we could include, or old ones you would like repeated, please put them in the suggestion box or see Tina.

Thanks to everyone who bought a raffle ticket for the picture of the old Church, Marian Ward won the picture with Tracey Bailey and Heather Bennett runners up.  Over £120 was raised.  Commiserations if you weren’t a winner but thank you for taking part.

 Christmas Fayre

A list is now on the board showing the stalls we will be having.  Donations to any stall would be appreciated.  Please have a look and contact the stallholder to arrange collection.  This year we will be running a ‘savouries’ stall alongside the cake stall.  If you make pizzas or quiches or any other savoury item, please put an extra one (or more) in the freezer for the stall.

I would like t put together a ‘Christmas Hamper’ for a raffle.  I already have several items but the fuller the hamper, the better the raffle.  Have you got any spare ‘Christmas products?’  If so please give them to Tina.

 National Children’s Home

 November is the month when N.C.H boxes are emptied - hasn’t it come round quickly?  I will be calling on all box holders during the next few weeks but for those who prefer, the boxes and/or monies can be brought to me at Church. I look forward to another successful collection.
