Parish council

The Parish Council meets to discuss Parish affairs on the second Monday of the month, at 7:30pm in the Village Hall.

All welcome to attend.

Contact: Secretary Jill Windsor, tel. 332295.

St Peter's church choir

The choir meets in the church most Thursdays, from 7:45 pm to 9:00 pm Upper and lower voices are needed and new members are made most welcome. An ability to sing (in tune!) and enthusiasm are more important than an ability to sight read. This can be learned! Leading congregational singing and preparing music for the major festivals requires some commitment, but serving your church this way can be very rewarding. Please give the matter some thought.
