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.

Aunt Sally
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.
