Knit and natter, craft and chatter, plus history & culture club

If you would like to get together with others from the area to bring and work on a non-messy craft project while having a natter and a cuppa – or just for a natter – you are most welcome to do so on the third Wednesday of every month at St. John’s Church in Bellingdon from 2.30pm – 4pm. The next dates are:

Wednesdays January 17, February 21, March 20, April 17, May 15, June 19, July 17, August 21, September 18, October 16, November 20, December 18 2024

History and Culture Club

The second meeting of the History and Culture Club will take place in St. John’s Church in Bellingdon at 11.30am on Saturday 27 January. This will again be based on local history – this time we’d like people to bring and talk about something linked to the history of the area such as an artefact, information about a house in Bellingdon, or something written in and about the area.

The meeting after that will have a different slant – it will be about an overland journey from Bellingdon to the Sahara Desert and will dip into various cultures experienced during that journey as well as giving a few travel tips! It will take place on April 27 at 11.30am in St. John’s.

We would love to welcome you to these events!

Jo Askew has kindly stepped up to edit the print version, so this will be my last issue. It’s been an absolute privilege and I shall miss being the first to know about everything. Enormous thanks must go to all the contributors for submitting their news and photos as well as the volunteer distribution network that makes sure everyone gets their copy.

The next issue is due in March so do contact Jo on newsletter@bellingdon.com if you are interested in submitting an article or have any other contributions.
