The band played, hymns sung and retiring May King, Noah Lowden gave a brilliant speech. His speech is attached to this Newsletter as the microphone didn’t work as well as expected. Please do read it. In his year of office, Noah surpassed his target and raised £1250 for the Children's Society plus he donated £200 to our church. Thank you to all who helped make this a lovely, traditional church afternoon, followed by excellent refreshments in the Village Hall.For more pictures please click the link!

The weather was warm and sunny and each day there were different events and activities, meaning many people attended each day. We had music, displays of Maypole Dancing, Birds of Prey, Ferrets, Farmers’ Market Stalls, Craft stalls, Book stalls, Classic cars, Puppet shows, lots of food, delicious cake and ice cream. It was great to meet with so many people and to chat with retired Vicar Revd. Richard Adams. Monies raised (over £5k) are for our church. Grateful thanks to all who helped before, on and after the weekend to make it so wonderful. A superb example of teamwork!For more pictures please click the link!
