Funding Programme – The programme is drawing to a close and the final result should be announced by the end of November. Our thanks are due to the hard work of the visitors.

Mince Pies – As has become our tradition, we shall be having mulled wine and mince pies after the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols at St Cuthbert’s Church on Sunday evening, the 18th December. If you are kindly able to provide any mince pies, please would you let Amy Cook or Moira Bartlett know as soon as possible and also indicate how many you will be providing so that we can avoid having a huge surplus.

Hosts needed for family members of 2012 Games competitors.
