Brede Flower Festival: can you consider being a sponsor by giving what ever you are able to afford small or large towards the cost of the flowers? It is a humongous bill and any amount will be gratefully received. Also if you have time to pop in some posters on sticks we will be grateful to hear from you Please contact Sue Sturmey 01424 882544 for the above and also phone her if you can help the various teams.

Wrong Dates: Apologies to every Library reader it has come to my notice that both Elizabeth who writes the Church magazine and me who writes the Parish Council Newsletter had the wrong information. I now have the correct dates for the library bus visits so has Elizabeth, so hopefully they will be correct at least until December. The July date has passed but the Library bus will come again on August 2nd and 23rd if you wish to make a note in your diaries. I will put them in the column anyway.
