As ever, riders, church-sitters and above all sponsors are needed. See SusanP for details

We very much hope that you will be able to come along and enjoy this year's Harvest Supper and Barn Dance which is being held at Mountnessing Village Hall and runs from 7pm - 11pm. Tickets are £10 each and you are just requested to bring your own drink and drinking glasses. For more information please contact Jane, Julia or Rita.

St Giles were very pleased to welcome hundreds of visitors to its biennial Art, Craft and Flower Festival over the August Bank Holiday weekend. As well as being able to enjoy the beautiful flower displays on the theme of Saints, visitors were able to view and buy paintings, patchworks and a host of other crafts.

There was also a variety of music played over the weekend, from Church Organ recitals through to the brass quintet, Crosswinds and the Variety Jazz Band.

Many thanks to all of those involved - it wouldn't have been the same without you.

St Giles once again offered refreshments to riders on the field. A 'fun' time was had. Thanks to helpers and cake-bakers.

Over fifty 'customers' enjoyed an excellent tea of delicate sandwiches, scones and cream and yet more St Giles' special brand of delicious cakes. A venture to be repeated some time in the future. Well done Julia.
