After many years serving the parish as our Gift Aid Organiser, Mike Tehan is
now retiring . I am immensely grateful to Mike for the work which he has so
cheerfully done over many years. This essential work will now be carried on by
Alan Lamberton who can be contacted on 01394 279373 for any queries or,
hopefully, to sign on for gift-aiding your donations. Why feather the second
homes of MP’s if the church can reclaim the tax the parishioners have paid and
use the money to improve the lot of the parishioners? The note below gives
some guidance as to the minimal requirements to give using Gift Aid.
Please consider GIFT AID for your donation
This enables the church to reclaim tax you have paid on the money you donate.
You can only provide gift aid if you pay tax ( and who doesn’t? ).
You do not have to pay a specific amount.
You do not have to pay every week.
You can cancel at any time.
You just have to provide your name and address
and state that you pay tax.
Contact Alan Lamberton on 01394 279373
if you would like to Gift Aid your donations.
Thank you.

CHILDREN’S SUMMER CAMP – Each year the Diocese of East Anglia
organises a camp for children aged between 8 yrs and 14yrs. The camp
offers a mixture of faith and fun. Over the past years, many children from our
parish have attended these camps and enjoyed them so much they have re-
turned year after year. The camp this year will be held at Eccles Hall in Nor-
folk from Friday 28th August until Monday 31st August at a cost of £70 per
child. It would be a great experience for any child who is able to go. Please
contact Monica Macdonald as soon as possible for a booking
form or more information about the camp as bookings must be
in by 30th June at the latest.
CHILDREN’S PILGRIMAGE TO WALSINGHAM – This annual event
will take place on Tuesday 26th May. The pilgrimage begins with the proces-
sion led by the Bishop, from the village to the shrine for mass at 12.00 noon. It
may be possible to organise a coach or minibus if there are enough families
who would like to go.
Please speak to Monica ASAP if you are interested.
