A SELL out concert held at All Saints Hollybush on Saturday evening proved a popular event, the rain actually stopping and allowing us to enjoy canapes and wine in the new marquee in the lea of the hill.

Over £750 was raised toward church funds and we are indebted by everyone's loyal support including all those who contributed to the wonderful repast.

Our thanks naturally to our singes and pianist and to the marvellous team who now appear to help erect and take down the marquee on its many uses (Young help always appreciated). A huge thank you to Percy our very professional car park attendant.

All in all a jolly good evening enjoyed by all.

Now a date for your diary. On Sunday, July 5 there will be an open air service at 6.30pm, just a big alteration a pets service celebrating God's creation. This is a wonderful service to which people are invited to bring pets, cats, dogs, rabbits, ponies whatever as long as they are safe and restrained, if yo see what I mean. For more details contact Reverend Julie James 01531 651795.
