Just a couple of items ...

Next Church service is this Saturday, 3 May at 10 am.  Coffee and biscuits following the service.

CHURCH SPRING CLEAN!

Spring Clean 2013

The annual spring clean of the Church and grounds will take place on Saturday, 10 May at 10 am.  If you have a couple of hours to spare that morning please pop along and lend a hand.  Coffee, tea and biscuits will be provided!

10th BOURTON BOUNDARY WALK

2013 Boundary Walk

A merry bunch of villagers will be beating the bounds on Sunday, 25 May led by Julie and Stuart Anger.  The walk leaves promptly at 9 am from the Village Memorial Pinnacle.  It's the 10th anniversary of the walk so please come along and help make it an extra special occasion!  Usual refreshments in the Village Hall afterwards with ribbon presentation!

And finally,

As you will have probably heard, dear Dennis and Sue Offer will shortly be leaving the Village.  As you probably also know, Dennis is our Church Warden and his leaving means that we are looking for a new person to step into that role.  If this is something you feel you are able to do, please speak to Dennis or the Rev Richard Hancock.

Dennis has asked me if I would send our Bourton news to Elaine Ware to be included in the Shrivenham monthly magazine.  I'm happy to do this, so if you have anything you would like included please let me have it before 17th of each month. 

Many thanks,

Vanessa Swann

WELL DONE SILVER STREETERS!

A big thank you to Bourton Village Hall Committee for organising the event and special thanks to Chris and Charlie Mintern (and family) for running the show - it was a great evening!
