Games morning at St Luke's Church
The first of what is hoped will be a regular weekly happening took place at St Luke's Church Hall in Winter Street last Tuesday morning April 30 from 10am - noon approximately.
In all about 18 persons were present and they had a lot of fun as they tried their hand at some of the older well known board games, the were around before mobile phones came on the scene, and were surprised how much they enjoyed it.
Birthday wishes
Many happy returns go out to local ladies Jan Hayden for May 2 and Jan Weekes for May 5.
Meanwhile my son Andrew Muxlow celebrated his 40th on May 5 and the wish goes out to them that they all had a very happy day.
