Everyone is welcome to this fun session in the Community Centre. There will be a craft activity, puppet sketch, singing, teaching and of course breakfast.
Hope to see you there, Patrick and Janet (Churchwardens).
For many years every house in the village has received a monthly copy of the Parish
Magazine thanks to a small army of volunteer distributors who deliver to a set 25 or so
properties.
Individual circumstances have led to a number of the distributors having to step down from this monthly commitment and there are now 4 or 5 gaps that urgently need filling.
If you can set aside half an hour a month to deliver approx. 25 magazines, please get in touch with the new distribution co-ordinator Nic Merrett on 07801 983530. He would be very pleased to hear from you.
Thank you!
Annual General Meeting of the NLGNS will take place on FRIDAY 7th March at 7.00pm in the Den in the FOX pub.
All existing volunteers are warmly encouraged to attend if possible, and of course any new potential volunteers wishing to find out more are most welcome.
There are a few remaining tickets for this open meeting at North Luffenham School – please pick one up from the Fox (£10 cash only please) or reserve your seat by contacting the GC on northluffenhamgardenclub@gmail.com.
There’ll be a warm welcome, tea, coffee & wine available from 7pm for speaker to start at 7.30pm. Our legendary lottery of fabulous prizes will be hosted by the lovely ladies of the Committee.
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

North Luffenham Good Companion’s are pleased to advise that from 6th October the Community Centre, adjacent to the school, will be open weekly on a Wednesday afternoon from 2pm-4pm as a warm space throughout the Autumn/Winter month.
This is an ideal opportunity to come along for cup of tea or coffee and chit chat with others, feel free to bring along some cake, a pack of cards, board game, knitting or just yourself. Everyone welcome.
