4 November 2018 - The week's events
Dear all,
The Chatty Craft Group. On Monday, 5 November, this cheerful and welcoming group will be meeting in the Mission Hall between 10am and noon, as, of course, they do every Monday morning. If you would like to try one of the many craft or other skills available, watch others 'at work', or even just enjoy the conversation and refreshment then do drop in and see them. No better way to start the week than meeting old friends or making new ones.
The Sutton Poyntz Women's Institute. The next meeting of the SP WI is on Wednesday 7 November in the Mission Hall between 2pm and 4pm. This will include a talk and demonstration by Mark Read on 'Flower arranging with Christmas in mind'. Just in time for you to put your newly learnt skills to good use in the festive season, so do drop in - you will be sure of a warm welcome.
Also a reminder about the lighting of the beacon on the hillside above the village at 7 pm on Sunday 11 November. This will form part of the Beacons of Light commemoration taking place all over the country and will be preceded by the reading of the names of those local people who made the supreme sacrifice. Remember to bring a torch, wear stout footwear and suitable clothing, but if you can't make it up to the beacon there is an excellent viewpoint from the beginning of the Millennium Oak walk, a short level walk up from Mission Hall Lane. See you there for a very special and poignant ceremony. Unfortunately it has not yet been possible to find a volunteer to sound the Last Post - if you know of anyone who could help, please let me know. On retiring to raise a glass to the memory of the fallen, the Springhead has very generously offered to reserve an area in the bar for us, and to provide complimentary beef rolls for those attending.
Regards
Chris
