On Saturday, July 23, we celebrated the end of our first year activities with a free, well attended family open day.
John Clarke (photographer and archivist) and Anne Collier (author and historian) were presented with Honorary Membership Certificates in appreciation of their outstanding contributions and unswerving support in setting up the group.
Lots of local pictures of people and places were on display and others were brought by guests.
The event also included lots of fun, refreshments and a large raffle.
Our next meeting is Monday, September 5, meet at The Grange Farm Museum, 7pm.
Our usual entry fee will be donated to charity via the farm in thanks for allowing us this special start to our second year.

Methodist news
The morning worship took the form of a Songs of Praise and was led by the worship team assisted by members of the congregation, who had chosen hymns and explained why that particular hymn was meaningful to them.
It was very special hearing one another’s stories and testimonies, and lovely to worship God in this way.
After the service we enjoyed coffee together in the hall.
The service this Sunday at 10.30am will be led by Mrs Patricia Henny, and all are welcome to come along.
