CHRISTMAS COFFEE MORNING
There will be a Christmas Coffee Morning on Saturday 18th November in the Village Hall from 10.00 a.m.-12.00 in aid of the PCC charity giving – cakes, baked goods, Christmas goodies, Raffle, Books, Plants, Bric a Brac etc., etc.   Do come along, and bring your friends.

 

SPONSORED RIDE AND STRIDE
Just over £1,800 was sent to Dorset Historic Churches Trust, raised by Peter Williams who cycled 61 miles visiting 42 churches, on what was one of the hottest days of the year, and Mike & Michela Metcalf together with David & Diana Masters who, prior to 9th September, strode from Blandford to Sturminster.  Very many thanks to all who sponsored them, especially since DHCT have been so generous with their financial support for the St Nicholas ceiling plaster repair project. 

 

SILTON PARISH MEETING
Tuesday 14th November at 6:30 p.m. in the Village Hall.

 

Next PCC Meeting
Wednesday 24th January ayt 2:30 p.m.
