ADVANCE NOTICE for a parish fundraising social event on the afternoon of Friday 6th June in Christ Church Jubilee Room: There will be an afternoon of Bingo and Board games starting at 2pm with light refreshments being served. Offers of cakes and Raffle prizes would be graciously accepted. There will be a list at the back of church so that you can indicate your interest. Why not come along and enjoy a fun afternoon with fellowship. You may even go home with a prize.

Eco-reminders for May: Say no to the mow. Mowing your lawn less and letting parts grow long saves you time and helps give nature a home. If you want to make an even bigger impact on wildlife, wait to mow your lawn or a section of it until August to support even more animals (A Rocha UK).
