All proceeds to St James' Church. On December 4, there is the grand Christmas Kids Klobber draw - 50p per ticket. If you haven't got yours, ring Mary Purser on 01684-310289.

November 17 sees the Welland Brownies mini-charities fayre, 6.30pm to 7.30pm, cakes, games, stalls, raffle and refreshments

Saturday, November 20, 1pm-5pm, sees the Anthony Leahy annual exhibition - original paintings, prints and cards etc. Admission is free, but remember they make a great Christmas present!

Last Thursday saw the opening of the 'undercroft' at St James', a project for the younger members of the community (designed and carried out by them). The evening was a great success and I feel that the project will be appreciated by both the young and the older members of our village now and in the future.
