Our Summer Forecourt Sale was another success, with a great turnout, lovely atmosphere and takings of £742. But we’re never satisfied and are going again with a Late Summer Forecourt Sale on Saturday 9th September from 10am to 12 Noon, admission FREE.

It will be a wonderful opportunity for puzzlers, with jigsaws and items from the famous “WASGIJ” collection. Otherwise, it will be the same successful formula, with a plant stall, quality bric-a-brac, books galore, maps, stamps, jigsaws, boxed games and pretty well anything else you give us, except clothes and shoes, accompanied by a friendly coffee morning with homemade cakes.

We would particularly welcome more bric-a-brac and quality books so please think what you might be able to do without and bring the stuff to the church between 2pm and 6pm on Friday 8th September or ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection. This is also the number for any queries or offers of help and see you on the day!

Our Spring Forecourt Sale was a great success, with a good attendance and atmosphere and £818 raised for the church and our chosen charities for the year, British Red Cross and Asthma+Lung UK, so thank you to all who came and/or donated things for us to sell.

The weather then was better than forecast earlier in the week but we’re hoping for warmer and sunnier for our Summer Forecourt Sale on Saturday 10th June from 10am to 12 Noon, admission FREE.

The formula will be much the same, with the famous plant stall, quality bric-a-brac, books galore, maps, stamps, jigsaws and boxed games and pretty well anything else you give us, except clothes and shoes, accompanied by a friendly coffee morning with homemade cakes.

If you have items to donate please bring them to the church between 2pm and 6pm on Friday 9th June or ring Richard Piper on 01895 634348 for collection. This is also the number for any queries or offers of help, but otherwise we’ll again look forward to seeing you on the day!

Notice of forthcoming Piano Pops 4 Ukraine piano recitals later this month, postponed from November, in The Village Hall, Jordans on 22nd, and Ickenham URC on 29th – both Sunday afternoons, starting at 3:15 pm.

Proceeds will go to the Chalfonts-GX Ukrainian refugee support organisation.

From the artist (David Meacock):
It can be easy to lose the initial impetus of wanting to help in the immediate aftermath of any disaster, particularly when it’s ongoing, but I don’t see Ukrainian refugees in the UK being able to return anytime soon and so they’ll continue to need all manner of support.

I’m hoping most of the encores and transcriptions, including a few of my own such as of The Onedin Line and Deer Hunter themes, will already be well known, but I’m sure any which aren’t will be just as enjoyable – and so suitable for youngsters (5+) who mightn’t have been to a ‘live’ piano concert before. This is the musical equivalent of skipping main course and just having puddings for Dinner, followed by several bars and boxes of chocolate!
