At the end of last year we thanked Miss Rene Rigby  who had decided it was time to retire as the lady in charge of refreshments in the Bluecoat School. For at least the last 25 years she has been making the coffee after the 9.30am service with not a single Sunday off, always the first to arrive and last to leave.

The Bluecoat School Coffee

This event took place on Saturday July 3^rd; arranged by the fundraising committee. The idea was that children could bring their teddy, or other furry friend, to church and could then watch them abseil from the top of our tower, for which they would receive a signed certificate from the Rector and a teddy bear biscuit!

Despite appalling weather the previous day it stayed dry for us and over 50 teddies and assorted animals bravely undertook the challenge watched by anxious owners and bemused passers-by.

As ever Walking Day took place on the first Sunday in July. This is when the parish take to the streets and walk the boundary. This year we were joined by Rev Susan Stevens who as a child was a member of our congregation, and now lives in Bristol . Her father is Dr Graham our Churchwarden Emeritus.
