IT'S that time again folks, how the year has sped along.

We end the 'Fete Season' as usual with the splendid effort that always awaits eager shoppers at Hollybush Room for their annual church fete. This will be on Saturday, September 2, commencing at 2pm.

Raffle tickets are on sale and the grand draw will take place at 4pm.

If you want to see an auctioneer in action then Reverend Mike is the man to watch. But first he needs some items to sell so if you have anything suitable please phone Leila and she can start a list (01531 650346.) Unwanted presents, perhaps you are artistically inclined and would like to donate one of your items. Come on, let's keep the vicar busy.

All items for various stalls appreciated. Bric a Brac, cakes, plants, fruit, veg, preserves, nearly new, books.

You can always join Monica and her helpers for a delicious piece of homemade cake and a cup of tea.

Please come and support us. All proceeds raised are used for running costs for our little parish church in the lee of the hills, with all its beautiful views and surroundings. Plenty of parking.
