Hort Soc: After you have attended the Horticultural Society's next lecture today (Friday) in the Village Hall at 2.30pm entitled 'Camera in Hand, Picture in Mind' by Melvyn Smith, you will be able to impress your family and friends with your new found knowledge and photographic ability. Go out into the countryside and villages so that you can take prize winning photos for the Spring Show on Saturday, 8th April. If your skills lie in other directions, take a look at all the other categories and see what might inspire you. Schedules for the Society's shows can be obtained from the membership secretary, Mrs Joan Davis 253458.

Chitiwiri: As we take a critical look at our wardrobes in a quick burst of Spring Cleaning enthusiasm, there will, no doubt, be many items which never got worn this winter. Thankfully, there is another clothing collection for Chitiwiri due on 28th March, so all those unwanted items can be turned into lifesaving necessities in Malawi. If you would like to donate any unwanted items of clothing, household linens, toiletries or soft toys, please take them to Forge House after 9th March. They will be much appreciated.
