Westfield

Westfield Church: A big thank you to everyone who decorated a tree in the Church this year. There were some wonderful and very clever interpretations of the theme of Twelve days of Christmas, and many complimentary comments. The most votes went to the Scouts and Beavers tree. Well done to them, but also to everyone who took part.
