Christmas Whist Drive
is in the Institute on Friday 13th December at 7.30 pm. Each year the village is asked to donate prizes for the raffle and a hamper. Boxes of chocolates, bottles, tinned goods and sweets – anything that would go in a hamper! – are welcome. The Institute will be open on the afternoon of Thursday 12th December for you to drop off your donations. Please be generous as the Whist Drive generates substantial funds for the Institute.

The next 100 Club draw will be at the Institute’s December coffee morning (Saturday 14th December). Deborah Millward

Carol singing
Please come and join us for our annual charity carol singing around the village. We've been a bit thin on the ground in recent years so we would really appreciate a few more voices. It doesn't matter if you think you can't sing, you'd still be very welcome. Please meet outside the Institute on Thursday 19th December at 6:30 pm with warm clothes and a torch. Carol sheets will be provided and mulled wine and mince pies to follow.
The proceeds from the singing will go to Centrepoint which provides safe spaces, support and opportunities for young homeless people. Hope to see you on the 19th.Olwyn Chorley

Mission Room
A Carol Service will be held in the Mission Room on Sunday 22nd December at 3 pm. All welcome.
