Friday 19 December: Brede Farmers Market in Brede Village Hall 10am – 12noon; stallholders have decorated the coffee tables for Christmas and are offering their shoppers a free coffee/tea and mince pie. The range of goods is amazing for such a small village and yet again I have found those little bargains that will make Christmas day a bit special for someone. Phillip Romani will be at the Market again today to collect the £12 Champions of Brede Money for the year. If you cannot make it there please contact him 01424 883420 or Nita Frankly 01424 882095 to organise collection or to set up online banking or a standing order. It is a big fundraiser for our Village Hall, which as I have printed before needs quite a bit of work on it so if you feel it is a good way to keep this building going Philip would love to hear from you. Join up soon and be entered into December’s big draw. It is from 10am – 12noon in Brede Village Hall. Brede School Carol Service is at 2pm in St George’s Church Brede the community are welcome to join them. Brede Village Hall is the venue for the Brede Short Mat Bowlers who set up at 7.30pm.
