Afternoon Fellowship

The Afternoon Fellowship is a monthly meeting held on Wednesdays between 14.00 and 15.30 in the Parish Hall, unless where stated. Each meeting features a guest speaker, followed by time for conversation with refreshments. There is no charge for admission but a voluntary collection of £1 at each meeting helps towards our running costs. Everybody is welcome.
