Red Kneelers

We are trying to dispose of all but 20 of these so please help yourselves to any for gardening, praying or any other use you can think of, or even to throw away.

Daily Coffee Morning

Now that Bushey and Oxhey Methodists have completed their exciting new entry space they are serving coffee/tea there every weekday morning 10.00am till 12.00 noon. Everyone is very welcome and I'm told the coffee is excellent and very reasonably priced! Because of our special relationship with them they hope that we will be able from time to time to provide people to help with the coffee, and just as importantly, the chatting to those who drop in. Do find a moment to try them, and consider if you can lend a hand now and then. They are particularly conveniently placed for after the Health Centre!

The Sales Table Starting on Mothering Sunday, 2nd March, we shall be bringing and buying for the Watford and District Talking Newspaper. This local group has been going strong now for over 30 years and posts to about 150 households a week a cassette of local news and other items of interest for the blind and partially sighted. News is  provided by the Watford Observer, and  recipes, sports features and  information come from a variety of sources including the RNIB. So please come prepared to find a bargain among our huge range of quality merchandise! 

P.S. If you would like to become a reader for the TN, I have a vacancy in my team, which meets at our house about 5 times a year to read news items from the Watford Observer proofs on to Side 1 of the cassette, ready for duplication and posting. It takes no more than 2 hours, starting at 7.30 on a Thursday evening. Please ask me for more details. Marilyn
