ROMANIAN Folk Life is the unusual and interesting topic chosen to follow Prestwood Gardening Society's AGM next Thursday, December 13. This is a presentation by Stuart Hall and takes place in the Village Hall at 8pm and free refreshments will be served. Entrance is free to members and £1 for non-members.

DISCO time featuring TJ the DJ is next Saturday, December 15 at 7.30pm. This is no ordinary disco but a special event to raise money for local Prestwood charity, The Thomas Ball Cancer Fund For Children. It takes place in Great Kingshill Village Hall and the tickets are £10 which includes a buffet. There will also be a grand Christmas Draw and licensed bar.

PRIZES are up for grabs in a local Christmas colouring competition for Children. Once more, local retailers, Rusts in Prestwood High Street are running their popular competition which is split into two age groups, children under-six and those under-nine. Entrance is totally free and the prize is the new video release SHREK. Closing date is Monday, December 17.

TODAY why not grab some favourite food and a £1 donation and go along to the Church Hall for a 1pm Pot Luck Lunch with other like-minded food -sharers. It is a very sociable occasion. Tonight, you can meet up again for a Christmas Whist Drive at 6.30pm. Full details from Marian Pugh on 01494 866242 or Jane Thom on 01494 863985.
