Dispatch Folding Afternoon
Help fold, address and post the once-a-year JOHN WILLIAM FOSTER dispatch. Tea provided.
A small note on attendance
All six gatherings are free. None of them require booking, with the small exception of the carol service, where we ask people to let the trustees know roughly how many to expect so the printer has the right number of orders of service. There is no dress code, no age limit, no expectation that you will know anyone. Children are welcome; dogs are welcome if they are quiet at the back; the village hall is single-storey and step-free; St Oswald's has a single step at the porch.
If you would like to be told about future gatherings as they go in the diary, the once-a-year dispatch lists them. The newsletter form in the footer is where to ask for it.
