Our
Winter Tea Party
will be held on Wednesday 8

February and will take place in the Methodist Church
Hall from 2.30-4.00pm. If you are not on our invitation list but would like to join us for this social event
then please call Brenda Steadman on 810382
as soon as possible
. All are welcome and transport will be
available on request to collect and return those who would like a lift to the event – call the transport num-

The Drop-in Café in St Mary’s Church is on the second Wednesday of every month – but not on the 8
th
February when it will be
the Tea Party instead! From March onwards it will run from 14:30 to 16:00 in the Living Stones Room so do come along and
enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, homemade cakes and a good chat.
We can help out with transport to a variety of locations including dental visits, hospital or surgery appointments (but not Buck-
den Surgery, which has its own transport scheme, contact Reception), and village events - if family, friends or public transport
can’t oblige.
If anyone needs support with shopping or errands during bad weather, or is housebound and would like a visit from one of our
volunteers then do give us a call.
For help or information contact:
Coordinator: Jane Scott 07810 006598 Requests for transport: Andy Scott 07914 669967.

and a chance to catch up with our friends.
At our next meeting,
Tuesday 7
th
February 7:30pm,
there will be a talk by a lady from Purlwise, a shop in Kimbolton, selling
craft items. Everyone welcome.
The competition is a home-made craft item.
