Calmlands

The funeral service for Queen Elizabeth will be shown on a big screen at St Bartholomew’s church in Meltham on Monday 19th September 2022 from 9.30am. All are welcome to join us for tea and cake with the vicar and to come together to pay our respects to our late Queen.  Times to be confirmed.

4 pm Sunday 16th October at Welshampton 

We suspect a number of us will want to join Rev Maureen and John for their retirement service.

In these days of high fuel prices and environmental concerns it would be good to take as few cars as possible and some who want to go may not have car access. 

Mike Still will try to coordinate transport.  So if you are going and have spare car space or you want to go but need a lift. Please contact Mike. 

If you are interested in a Coach or Minibus again if there is sufficient demand we will try and organise it. 

Please reply to Mike by Sunday 25th Sept.

Saturday 27th August

11am – 4pm

The Parish is once again providing large outdoor games in the park and also the opportunity to write a prayer lily.

Coffee and cake will be served in St. James’ Church.

Cakes are needed and the cost of ingredients can be reimbursed.

Volunteers are needed to serve the cakes in the church and to chat to people as they play the games or write a prayer.

Help in setting up the games from 9.30am will also be valuable.

If you can help for any part of the day, please email:

alisonwhiteley@ntlworld.com or mike_still@hotmail.com

The games have proved very popular at the last events and, as ever, many hands make light work!
