Quiz evening

There will be a Quiz Evening on Saturday 12th September 2009, so mark this date on your calendar. This will be something anyone and everyone can take part in and is suitable for all ages. We will accommodate those in teams and those who want to make up a team; the first-timers and the old hands; the brainy and the barmy!

Food Bank update

The next collection is on our own patch at Asda Walmart on Saturday 29th August. The sheet will be on the desk to sign up if you can spare an hour. We are likely to be short as it's the holiday season.
