MONEY RAISED – More than £900 was donated to the Midlands Air Ambulance during the celebration of Barbara Lloyd’s birthday. Many thanks to all those who contributed.

PRIMARY SCHOOL – On Tuesday and Thursday mornings, there is a walking bus leaving the memorial hall at 8.30am for all primary school children and it is in need of some more “passengers”. Why not join in? It makes a lovely start to a summer morning.

WALK FOR HEALTH – Come along and enjoy a gentle stroll around the village in pleasant company starting outside the chip shop at 10am.

Distance one to two miles. Any ages welcome and there is no fee to pay. A good way to hear the blackbird sing and explore your neighbourhood.

BIRTHDAY PARTY – A group of friends gathered at Bacton Grange by kind permission of Mrs B Harran to celebrate Tom Brown’s birthday and say thank you for the many theatre trips he had organised so efficiently.

CONCERT – In Wormbridge church tomorrow (Friday) at 7.30pm, Roger Tomlinson is arranging an evening of light music and entertainment – words, music and song – together with Howard Seymour, Tony Hemson and Friends. Tickets, available from Mailes Butchers, cost £8 to include a glass of wine and canapes served from 7pm.

Children under 16 free, do bring a cushion.

ROGATION SUNDAY – Do come and join our walk starting at St Michael’s Hall at 2.15pm, wending its way up to the common then via the public footpath down to Dulas Court through lovely woodland, less than two miles in total. We will stop occasionally to pray and for a breather and have a short Rogation Service at Dulas Court at 3.30pm, followed by a cup of tea. Nonwalking worshippers very welcome, especially with own garden chairs.

Lifts back to the village will be available for those who do not wish to walk any further. Some of the ground is uneven so sturdy footwear is advisable, also there are several stiles and young farm animals en-route, so no dogs please.

WALKERS – For more serious walkers there will be a trek to Marcle Ridge on May 19, distance four to five miles.
