It is time to spruce up the grounds of St Michael's Church again.

On both Saturday February 23 and Saturday March 8 at 10am, volunteers would be very welcome to join in the working party to clear vegetation from both sides of the long wooden fence on the southern boundary of the churchyard.

Everyone taking part is advised to wear suitable clothes and bring gloves and gardening tools. Light refreshments will be served during the day.

Please ring Malcolm on 01245 223815 if you require any more information.
