TALK@SILEBY VILLAGE MAGAZINE: It is with much regret that after 50 editions, we bid farewell to the Village Magazine.

Unfortunat­ely due to unforeseen circumstan­ces for committee members, a shortage of deliverers , and increased costs in producing the magazine these factors had a huge impact.

Despite an appeal in issue 50 for help, none was forthcomin­g. Sadly this meant that it was no longer practicall­y possible for the remaining committee members to fulfil all that was needed to produce, and distribute further editions.

The funds that were remaining, and in agreement with Sileby Parish Council, have been shared between Sileby Scouts, Sileby Guides and Sileby Youth Project.

It would be difficult to give individual thanks, but the committee would like to thank sincerely, all who helped in getting the magazine up and running, past committee members, deliverers, advertiser­s and all those who contribute­d over the years to the magazine.

SILEBY METHODIST CHURCH. We had a lovely Covenant Service with Rev John Pugh on Sunday, January 19.

On Sunday, 26th, at 10.30am we had a special service for the Holocaust Memorial Sunday. Eleri Bristow, our preacher, put together a memorable service which remembered the victims of the WW2 and the subsequent genocide victims since that terrible time. Won’t mankind ever learn!

Terry played the piano for us and we do thank both of them and Valerie for this special service.

Next Sunday, February 2, Granville Mercy is our preacher and we look forward to hearing his message.

During the week we held Cafe@Chapel on Thursday and Saturday, 23/25th January, from 9.30-11.00am. We are so grateful for the support shown by our loyal friends who come along and support us.
