28th March URC Jumble Sale cancelled
URC Spring Jumble Sale OFF!
The sale scheduled for Saturday 28th March has been cancelled, for reasons that will be obvious. Please do not bring donations for sale to the church on 27th March as previously requested but if possible keep them until we are able to resume our programme. However, we have a limited amount of storage space, so if you have quality items that you are not able to keep please ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for possible collection. Any shortfall in revenue that we have will not only be detrimental to the work of the church but also our external charities for the year: End Youth Homelessness, Dementia UK, Parkinson’s UK and Toybox. Thank you for your continuing support!

This year’s Festival cancelled
This has been passed to me by Ickenham Residents’ Association:
The Ickenham Festival Team met today and we have made the decision to cancel this year’s Ickenham Festival (which was to be 6th June – 14th June 2020).
This is due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
This decision has not been taken lightly, but we feel that the health of exhibitors, volunteers and the general public must come first.
The Government has prohibited large scale events, both indoor and outdoor.
If we now proceed, we feel that we could incur substantial losses that could jeopardise future Festival events.
It is also now impossible for the various Ickenham groups (Churches, School, Voluntary organisations etc.) to plan and commit to a June event.
Our business supporters have come under severe pressure, as their customer numbers and staff are reduced.
We intend to work towards the next Ickenham Festival and we appreciate all the support and help that we have received to date.
Any payments made to Ickenham Festival 2020 for pitches etc. will be refunded.
Starting in Autumn 2020 we will re-launch our series of traditional and new events to raise funds toward that aim.

AGM postponed and Coronavirus
In view of the rapidly changing situation and advice on the Coronavirus outbreak, we have taken the decision to postpone our AGM scheduled for 17th April 2020. Once the situation has eased we will call an EGM to cover the decisions we would normally have made at the AGM and we will let you have the requisite notice of its date.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but feel it is the safest and wisest course of action.
This information will be going on our website and via all our other means of communication but if you could let any neighbours who are not on social media know, we would be very grateful.
Also in the true spirit of our village community:
Lets keep looking out for each other
We are rightly proud of our community spirit in Ickenham and, over the coming weeks, please have a think about your friends and neighbours that might need a hand.
