ANOTHER GREAT VILLAGE QUIZ!
 "Tups and His Amigos" ran out clear winners with 95 points, followed in second place by "Foreign Turf" on 85 with "Upcycle" third on 81 (we wuz robbed! - Ed). The Spread Eagle once again did a smashing job feeding us with a hotpot supper - for which they very generously did not charge; so adding about £300 to the evening's funds raised for the Church! Many thanks to them and huge thanks to Roland for setting and hosting the quiz and to the Social Committee for organising such an excellent event! |

A PLEA FOR LENT
Hello to all our friends. David and I have been considering a Lent project to support. The idea being …. every day during Lent, to take an item out of our cupboards suitable for the Blackburn Food Bank. We can also include toiletries and other useful items. We wondered who else would like to join us in this much needed charity? Perhaps we could have a weekly collection in Mellor St Mary's Church. David and I will then transport to the depot once a week. Hopefully, with a little love and lots of faith we could continue this throughout the year too? Thank you, David and Helen Holroyd |
