Last Monday Club of season
This coming Monday, 2nd May, will be the last Monday Club session until September. Please polish your Scrabbling brains and enjoy it!
Summer churchyard maintenance
Those of us who are able to attend Holy Trinity this Sunday will see that Ian Brims has mowed the grassed graveyard area and the lawns on the south side of the Church, making its surroundings look welcoming and well cared for, both for visitors and "regulars".
It would be good if others could volunteer to help with these tasks. If you are able, let me know your availability and I'll draw up a rota for the spring and summer.
