Our church Summer Fair, which usually takes place sometime around Midsummer Day, will this year be taking place on Saturday, September 4th. We were not able to hold a summer fair at all last year because of Covid-19 restrictions so as we reflected on the current situation we thought it was worth pushing the event back slightly for 2021.Meanwhile we have been running pop-up stalls on Saturdays at 10am outside the church hall in the High Street, offering items on a particular theme as well as bakes each session. Future dates are June 12th (CDs, DVDs, PS games etc), June 26th (tidal treasures and furniture), July 17th (regifted items), July 24th (kids stuff), July 31st (plants), August 7th (jewellery and accessories), August 14th (special occasions - including stationery and candles), August 21st (wood 'n' bitz), August 28th (tidal treasures and furniture)

Meet in Otford Village car park by the gate to the park at 9.30am - for a 45min/1 hour walk along the lane towards Shoreham and then back along the field by the river, finishing at the Church Hall. Please contact Penny Anderson (penny@otford.net) or Jo Chandler (jo.chandler@live.co.uk) if you would like further information.Also, we have set up a "Saturday Morning Walks" WhatsApp group, to keep everyone updated, so please let us know if you want us to add you. Please note that we won't be walking if the weather is bad. Hope you can join us with or without your four legged-friend and please bring your friends with you.
