DATES FOR YOUR DIARY
GARDENING DAY – SATURDAY JULY 25TH 10am to 3pm. Please come and help with our ongoing maintenance of the wonderful presbytery garden in Bungay. We are also looking to clear and develop two new areas. We need lots of help! If you have gardening tools then please bring them, although we do have some that we can share. Coffee/tea, snacks and lunch will be provided. Help make the garden look great for the Heritage Open Days in September.
PARISH SOCIAL EVENTS IN THE PIPELINE Our social committee is working on several events, a ‘Street food’ festival to be held in the Bungay Presbytery garden, an Italian evening with a variety of pasta sauces, a Cheese and Wine evening at the Old Rectory in Barsham by kind invitation of Howard Trust. Dates and times to be finalised soon!
