Monday 4 April

Annual Churchyard Spring Clean starting at 6.00 pm.  Once again it’s time for the annual churchyard spring clean to remove the dead leaves, broken branches and the general litter that has accumulated over the winter months.  If you are able to spare an hour or two that evening it would be really appreciated as the more helpers there are, the easier is the task.  Please bring garden rakes and wheelbarrows if you have them.
