CHRISTIAN AID WEEK 9-15 MAY 2010: This weekend sees the start of the house to house collections around the village. In order that we can continue to cover all areas of the village we need to recruit more volunteers. The Lamcote area, which is primarily St Mary's area of collection, needs help to collect on St Lawrence Boulevard (Approx 50 houses), Vancouver Avenue, (14 houses) and Nottingham Road (17 houses). The collection can be made easier, and more pleasant, by doing it in pairs, it is good exercise and a chance to view other peoples gardens - lovely at this time of year. So please, if you think you could help in this most worthwhile effort please contact Jenny Hudson -

CARETAKER/CLEANER: St. Mary's Hall's caretaker and cleaner has decided to leave and we are looking for a replacement. Ideally this should be a husband/wife team where one could be the caretaker and the other the cleaner, although we are prepared to look at all options. If anyone is or a couple are able to take on this responsibility or they know of anyone who may be suitable, please will they have a word with either of the churchwardens, Dave or Martin or alternatively with our treasurer Roger. We shall be advertising the position in LINK and probably elsewhere as well. Martin Skeffington
