Village Christmas Card Scheme… via our very own Festive Tree in North Luffenham Church

Again this year, the Parish Church are continuing their Community Christmas Card Scheme for the residents of North Luffenham. Instead of sending your friends & neighbours separate cards, just deliver one card (with a donation for our new church heating) to either Churchwarden:

Janet Whittaker (Dove Cottage, 4 Church Street) or
Patrick Woods (7 Swann Close)

All the cards will be displayed in the church porch on the wonderful large wooden Christmas Tree donated by Men & Women in Sheds, Rutland and will be brightly lit with colourful lights.

Thank you for joining in our village ‘tradition’; making lives simpler whilst raising much-needed funds for our beautiful church🎄

Christmas Day Reminder: All Age Worship @ 9.30am

for any information, please contact Janet Whittaker on tel 01780 721216 or email rutlandwhittakers@outlook.com

Wanted – loan of an ‘traditional’ Cassette player…

Might anyone in the village have a traditional portable cassette player we could borrow please?

My sister has recently moved into a home and we are trying to keep her entertained with old fashioned audio cassettes – we have the cassettes but nothing to play them on…

Please respond to Tim Clifton (Lyndon Road, North Luffenham) on 01780 720689

Thanks very much!

Luxury Wreath-making Workshops @ Picks Barn, Lyndon

Our LUXURY WREATH-MAKING WORKSHOPS are taking place on Thursday 12th December & hosted by the uber-talented Harriet from The Lincolnshire Flower Company

Harriet (who’s wreath workshops sell out year-after-year), will expertly guide you through a two-hour workshop, sharing her toolkit of techniques and tips to help you create your show-stopping wreath. You will be able to choose from a selection of luxurious, festive ingredients to let your creative juices flow.

There are two sessions: 12-2pm with a light lunch included in the ticket price and 6-8pm with a glass of fizz and festive canapes and nibbles throughout.

Expert or beginner these workshops are for everyone to enjoy. So bring a friend (or two) or come alone and joyfully ease your way into the festive spirit in a warm and welcoming setting.

Plant Sale Clearance @ The Fox until Wednesday

North Luffenham Garden Club enjoyed a busy Plant Sale yesterday but we have some surplus stock of tomato & veg plants, houseplants and even some perennials from the borders of Burghley House 😉

So do drop by, have a look and pick up some real bargains – ignore the price tickets, just leave a donation in the red pillar box under the Pagoda.
Everything must go by Wednesday so tell your friends & family… and afterwards enjoy some cooling refreshment at the bar of your host Jason!

It’s certainly not too late to plant those tomatoes…
