BELL PLATE CHOIR whatever is that??

Did you know we have a set of bell plates at Holy Cross (like hand bells but different design) We are looking for 6 volunteers who would like to learn how this is done and be ready to "give it a whirl" some time over Christmas. Never too old to learn something new and it does keep the "little grey cells" in good working order. Talk to Rodney who has a bit more information.

Christmas Hamper Raffle

The Social and Fund raising programme the F,F&F group are sponsoring the

Christmas Hamper Raffle. I am now requesting bottles of wine, spirits, shower gel, shampoo, in fact any liquid in a bottle, so that we can run the Lucky Bottle Tombola at the Christmas Market in the Havenstreet Community Centre on Saturday 28 November.
