THE PARISH/SCHOOL FAMILY BINGO IS BACK!

After the great time we had together last year we just had to do it again with proceeds to be split equally between the PTA and Friends of St John’s for the Building Fund. As well as your company, we’d be grateful for DONATIONS OF PRIZES, please. Bottles, gifts, toiletries – anything you’d like to win yourself. Just drop them in to church or school. Can't make 6pm? Eyes down at 6.20 ... have someone come and save you a seat and buy you a ticket.
HELPERS NEEDED so please volunteer!
