Harvest Lunch
Sunday 1st October 2006
The Harvest Lunch was
attended by around 70 people who all seemed to enjoy the food brought to
the Parish Room by members of the congregation.
As usual many willing
hands served up the food and did the washing up both before and after the
meal.
Changing the service from
10.30am to 11.30am did not catch many people out.
Judy Norton, Ron Biggs, John Pinney
and Joan Biggs manned the food stall outside the library on Friday 6th
October to sell off the remains of the donated foodstuff for the harvest
service.
