What’s on in January?
Community Advent Calendar
Many thanks to Jenny Bumby for her brilliant idea of having a community advent calendar. Hope everyone enjoyed the Advent windows.
RNIB Christmas stamp appeal
Please save your used stamps from your Christmas cards and parcels and the RNIB can recycle them to make a difference for blind and partially sighted people. Any collected I am happy to send off, just drop them off at Ivy House, Main Street, by Jan 7th 2021. Thankyou Lyndsay Tidswell.
Christmas Tree Recycling
If you are wondering what to do with your Christmas tree then Peter Bloom is looking for around 20 “non-drop” varieties to place in the aviaries at the Bird Display. This will provide additional shelter and enrichment for some of the inhabitants at the Bird Display. If you have such a tree then ring 668368 and leave a message and I will collect them at the weekend.
