CHURCH CLEANING at St Osmund Tuesday 3rd February at 9:45 any volunteer or helpers would be much appreciated.

FORTHCOMING EVENTS for 2026 to be decided by St. Osmund social committee. Flatcappers concert. Irish dancing display, with (maybe) an Irish dance night. Fish and chips some Friday lunch time. Coach trip-maybe to Skipton market which is open on Fridays.

HALL is available for hire (as long as you don’t make too much noise and make the neighbours complain! ! )

ST. TERESA SALE OF LAND: They have done a survey: mining, health and safety, gas monitoring, chemical soil testing, asbestos quantification, on the land at back of church and found a few issues. There was a pond there, and the builders doing the racecourse estate dumped all their waste materials in it instead of disposing of it properly. Asbestos has been found, so it will devalue the land a bit.
