Local history researcher, Chris Hughes, will give a talk and slide show on RAF Molesworth, the WWII activities and stories of some of the planes that were stationed there, and bring us to date with the role of the Base in mote recent years.
Join us on Wednesday 19th September, 7.30PM start
at Great Giddding Village Hall
Free Entry (donations to Gidding History Grouo)
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available.
Everyone is welcome and Chris would love to hear personal stories and experiences connected to RAF Molesworth and other local bases, and to see any” finds” that people may have kept as souvenirs from the crash sites.
This year our Harvest Festival arrangements are different. Firstly, the service which will be an informal All Age Family Service, takes place in the morning, starting at 11 am. Secondly after the service, we continue our celebrations as we move across to Crown Cottage (by kind invitation of Sue Shepherd) and enjoy a Harvest Lunch together.
So may I invite you to come and join us. The service will include all the favourite harvest hymns as well as offering an opportunity to give thanks for the wonder of God’s creation and the food we enjoy.
You are welcome to attend both Service and the Lunch – alternatively you might like to come to one or other of the events and this is also fine!
Times:
Harvest Family Service – 11 am
Lunch in the Garden at Crown Cottage – 12.15 pm
Finally, it would help with the catering arrangements if you could contact either Lois Jordan (293178) or Mary Read (293657) and let them know if you are coming to the lunch.
I look forward to seeing you.

Whilst still a fair way off, please put Sunday 16th September in your diary as that’s the date we shall celebrate the traditional Harvest Festival Thanksgiving.
This year it will be slightly different for two reasons. Firstly the service will take place in the morning at St Michael’s Church starting at 11am. Then after the service we adjourn across the road to Crown Cottage (by kind invitation of Sue Shepherd) for a ‘bring and share’ lunch.
Please watch out for more details.

Great Gidding School is holding its Summer Fete on Saturday 7th July from 12pm onwards. There will be fun things to see and do, as well as lots of food to eat. Please drop by the school if you get a chance and it isn’t raining too hard!
The outdoor pub game is back at the Fox & Hounds on Wednesday 11th July. This will be a warm up evening so everyone welcome to come and have a go. The caveat is that it is weather related and given the miserable summer so far, well we can only hope for a dry evening. The pitch will be set up for a 7.30pm start but Gidding time will take preference.
