The display is now complete thanks to the help of Gill, Barbara & Christine. It will be on display in church for the next two Sundays and then placed in the spire.

Here is the February newsletter. Many thanks to Bernard for getting this ready every month.
Well, Downton abbey definitely brought in the crowds.
It was great to see so many people dressed up in 1920’s attire. For the first time we had canapes and cocktails on offer and these went down a storm. Many thanks to all the helpers on the night making it such a fantastic evening.
The next cinema evening is on March 7th, the evening film is “Judy” a story of Judy Garlands last London Shows, played by Renee Zellweger.
