Sunday Singles Lunch - Last Sunday was a success with 14 folk sitting down to lunch at the Hospice café. Further lunch dates will be arranged in coordination with the café manager.
Book stall - There are plenty of good holiday read fiction books available - much more than sit on the bookcase. The full stock will be out on display next Sunday in the hall. Come and browse with your coffee. New donations of contemporary fiction gratefully received. The full bookstall stock is set out again this Sunday for you to find some holiday reading. Will then be packed away for a few weeks before popping up again!
