ST MARY'S: Don't miss the Church Fete tomorrow, Saturday, from 2pm to 4pm. The Tower will be open for tours, the musicians and singers have put together a lovely programme of music, the bakers have been baking and it promises to be a lovely occasion! There are stalls and games for everyone, a raffle, bookstall, bric-a-brac, arts and paintings. Do come along and join in the fun and support some local organisations in doing so.

On Wednesday we invite you, either on your own or with others, to come and join us for a drink and a chat in The Anchor garden from 7.30pm. Everyone is welcome.
