This will be held on 27th November between 10am and 3pm.
With many stalls to tempt you from the Cake Stall to Tombola, Christmas Cards to Chocolate. The excellent efforts by the Scouts with what they do with the raffle. Other fun games include Guess the Weight, How many in a Jar plus many other attractions and stalls, it is a very enjoyable way to start and prepare for Christmas.
In previous years we have always very fortunate that Santa has always found time in his busy schedule to drop in (not down the chimney though – that’s only on Christmas Eve) and see us and I fully expect that he will make it again this year, so get all your Christmas requests ready.
Then sit and chat with friends over lunch as you enjoy some of the fine refreshments that will be on offer all at very reasonable prices.
The Christmas Fair is a major even in the social life of the Church and Parish and your support is very much appreciated.

After the morning service on 1st August, Malcolm Haigh posed a question – what is this plant growing near the water tap next to the church tower? Nobody could remember seeing before so we assume it doesn’t flower every year. Click the image for a larger version.
Anybody know what it is? Post a comment below . . .

Many thanks for all who supported the Garden Party yesterday. We had a great day, with very pleasant weather again.
On the day we made about £1000 which was a very good effort.
Thank you to all who volunteered to help on stalls, set up on Friday evening and Saturday, and who helped to put everything away again.
