MEMBERS of Hartpury, Corse & Staunton MU were entertained to a Christmas Lunch at The Oak, Hartpury by invitation of Mrs Lillian Brewer, instead of the usual December meeting.

It was a most enjoyable occasion and two former members were able to join the party. The first meeting of the new year will be on Monday, January 8 when it is hoped the roads and lanes will be free of the floods and mud which now prevails!

On Sunday, the Christingle Service for the United Benefice of Hartpury, Corse & Staunton will be held in the parish church of St Mary, Hartpury at 10.30am. In the evening there will be a Carols by Candlelight service at 6.30pm in Hartpury Church followed by mulled wine and mince pies.
