BUILDINGS UPDATE ST. AIDAN’S On 17th November, plans for the proposed development of St. Aidan’s Church and Hall will be on display. As advised previously, the PCC has come up with proposals to replace the existing roof of St Aidan’s Church, re-order the existing building internally to include a cafe area and toilets, and to renovate the external appearance of the church building. Also, it is hoped that improvements to the Church Hall kitchen and toilets, as well as the linkage between the church and the hall would be part of the restoration and renovation of St. Aidan’s. Please view and comment on the plans, which we hope will stimulate comment and vision. Once final agreement is reached on the plans the relevant permissions will be sought, along with the finances, to enable St Aidan’s to be a worship and outreach centre for the whole community. ST. GEORGE’S SCHOOL report written by Sandra Adams With half term upon us, the number of extra activities in which the children have participated, along with their normal school work, are amazing. A newly formed PTA held a disco for the children, which made a profit of £200, which will assist in the purchase of furniture for Early Years. Our Harvest Festival, well attended by parents, was held in Church, all produce given was taken to the Food Bank by Mrs. Albery, and our School Council. The School Council intends to revisit the Food Bank to see how all the food is distributed. Trips have been made in the School Mini Bus, with staff and children, from years 3, 5 and 6 going to Abbot’s Wood, where blackberries were picked, and later were made by the children into crumpets and blackberry crumble. Year 2 made a visit to St. George’s Church, taking photos and making drawings of the surroundings. Our Vicar Gary, visits School often, for assemblies and last week children from year 1, took part in a mock Baptism. Children and staff will be wearing pink on 21st October, for Breast Cancer research.
