PAST EVENTS

Amy's 80 years of service

Mrs. Amy Guppy celebrated her 89th birthday on 11th January 2006.

She has been a Church Organist for no less than 80 years, having first played for a service just before her 9th birthday. Several local churches have benefited from her expertise since, including most recently Holy Rood. Thank you and congratulations, Amy!

There was a small presentation in church on Sunday 15th January to celebrate this remarkable occasion.

Alan's Slides - 28th January 2006

Alan Brown did a superb job of illustrating the history of our local area with this rare opportunity to see his renowned collection of photos.

Mr Alan Brown

Sadly, some of us were on holiday that week (which makes anyone like me who missed it, rather jealous of those who got there!). Thank you so much, Alan: the total raised, was £355 on the door, for Holy Rood Church Building Fund, and £50.50p on the raffle - which was donated to Kids Of Wool (KOW).

Wareham Town Band Concert on Saturday evening, 18th March

The D'Urberville Hall was full as we enjoyed our local band in concert. (The singing and clapping was of even higher standard after the meal and drinks half way through!)

Proceeds were an excellent total of £639 and will go to the Building Fund. the money will be needed to buy a new boiler after the events of the last few weeks.

As can be seen, a good time was had by all.
