Enormous thanks to Sarah Leventhorpe and all the other helpers for organising such a successful sale last Saturday, fully reported in the Newbury Weekly News. Thank you to all who attended. It was lovely to see so many and I hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
Thank you also to all those who came to our remembrance service at the East End war memorial on Sunday. Although it was cloudy the weather stayed dry and we were able to pay tribute again to those East Woodhay men, and their families, who lost their lives during two world wars. Thank you to Marvin for leading us and to Tim Cross of the East Woodhay Silver Band for sounding the Last Post followed by the Reveille after the period of silence. Thanks also to the Chipchase, Clifton and Brunsden families for once again providing the refreshments afterwards.
Work is about to start on repairs to the church clock, including the installation of an automatic winding system which will relieve Mark Foden and his team of winders who have faithfully climbed the stairs in the tower twice a week in recent years to keep the clock running. It is not too late for you to contribute to the cost of the work. Please visit the Good Exchange website to make a donation or go to our contact page.
