RIDE AND STRIDE - 2025
We have just been informed that St Nicholas, Silton was the top Blackmore Vale Deanery R&S fundraiser in 2025 and 6th out of all 168 contributing parishes in Dorset, raising funds for Dorset Historic Churches Trust.  So, a big thank you to all those who supported Peter W. (riding) and Diana, Mike and Michela (striding).  And it will not be long before they will be riding and striding again and will be asking for sponsorship once more, to hopefully match the success of 2025!

 

PCC MEETING
Tuesday 14th July in the Village Hall at 5.00 p.m.
