BOOKS: Boxes of books don't just disappear into thin air! Bredon WI have recently been running a nearly new book stall at the monthly market and have raised quite a lot of money for good causes. On November 10 it seems that a whole box full of books disappeared in transit. If you know anything about this, please contact any WI member, or better still, bring the books into the Church Room on Saturday to the Bredon Market.

JAZZ: Order your tickets for the Pete Allen Jazz Band Christmas Party on December 8 at 8.30pm. Tickets, which include a fish and chip supper are available by phoning 772754.

TODDLER GROUP: Well done the Bredon Toddler Group who raised £304 in aid of the Meningitis Trust by holding a Toddle Waddle. Seventeen children took part and enjoyed completing a small circuit comprising milk crates, a tunnel, a small trampoline, cones and hoops. Tanks go to Tesco for providing each child with a bar of chocolate.

POPPY APPEAL: Sue Chandler reports that the coffee morning raised £434, the house to house collection £1,419 and individual raffles a further £69. Two pleas were made for next year. Firstly, a collector is needed for Dock Lane next year. If you can help, please phone 772331. Secondly, please do not throw anything away which might go to a jumble sale next spring.

REMINDERS: Do get your tickets in advance for Carols in the Barn on December 22 from Draper's Shop. Don't forget that the Bredon Market day has changed to the first Saturday of the Month, ie December 1.
