ON Saturday, August 18, there will be MU Coffee Morning in the Henry Ellis Suit at Colwall Community Church.

On September 8 (as always the second Saturday in September) the Herefordshire Historic Churches Trust joins with other county Trust across England in organising a sponsored bicycle (or horse) ride and walk.

Churches and chapels throughout Herefordshire and neighbouring Counties are open for you to sign in.

Sponsorship money raised is divided equally between the church or chapel of your choice and the Herefordshire Historic Churches Trust.

The Trust makes funds available for the repair and improvement of Christian churches in the County (£200 to £10,000).

It is non-denominational.

For further information including links to a list of participating churches and two possible routes from Colwall see the website Herefordhistoricchurchestru st.org.uk/ride.phy, or e-mail the Colwall organiser: Helena Illingworth email: Helena@illingworth.me.uk.
