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.
Regarding 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.
Please contact Janette for more information. Thank you in anticipation!
