A large wooden cross has been erected at the entrance to the churchyard, ready to be decorated. A big thank you to Jeff Thomas who has made this, with lots of hooks ready for the children to hang Easter decorations from.
An Easter Egg Treasure Hunt is being organised – more information on the Village Facebook page.

Teenagers – the Carr family with a total of 109 flips
Runners Up – the Zacks-McGoldrick family for a valiant effort with a very heavy frying pan! Golden frying pan trophies were awarded (photographs are on the Village Facebook page).
Mothering Sunday
A workshop was held on Saturday 13th March with Angie and Olivia helping the children to make posies and cards to give to their mothers. It was a lovely sunny afternoon and the village bunting fluttered in the breeze as the children busily created their masterpieces! Lots of lovely photographs of these on the Facebook page.
