Volunteers wanted - free show tickets available.There are some gaps on the rota for running the Church Rest Tent at the Gillingham and Shaftesbury Show on August 13th and 14th this year. Please consider volunteering.We share with friends and colleagues from the Shaftesbury Benefice two-hour shifts to make coffee and tea, serve cakes, clear tables, and so on. It is friendly, often busy and fun. You can spend the rest of the day visiting the show.Have a word with Kate or Tom Wickson for more details.

Plants can be delivered to St Mary’s Church on the afternoon or evening of Friday 23 May. Please leave them against a wall close to the main, south facing entrance to the Church. Alternatively, bring them to The Meadow by 9:30am on the day of the sale. No cars will be allowed on The Meadow during the sale.We will also be selling clean plant pots and functional garden equipment. All plants will be gratefully received, but please ensure that cuttings are well rooted - they can’t stand up to being moved about if they don’t have a good root system. We hope to raise a good contribution to Church funds and look forward to seeing you at the sale. Meriol Cottrell 07582 623482
