We would also like to thank all the Village Traders who donated prizes for the raffle and supported us by providing goods and services and, of course, all the extra people who helped us on the day. The Friends of All Saints is a secular charity which exists to raise funds for the upkeep and maintenance of the fabric of the Church building. Membership is a minimum of £5 per annum and we would be very pleased if, in these austere times, you could spare us that amount each year. Without members it would be even harder to raise the amounts required. Our Membership Secretary is Andrew Brady and he would love to hear from you on (01580) 891840 or email Andrew Brady Maureen Brice P.C.C.
