A list of those who have signed up so far to run
stalls is on the board at the back of church.
There is room for plenty more! In particular,
could someone run the bottle stall (in lieu of
Lorraine) and the St Michael’s Kitchen stall?
The LUNCHTIME VENUE
for the whole community
The proceeds from all stalls will go to church
funds.
OPEN Wednesdays
11.30am – 1.30pm
We would be very grateful for:
Centre Rendezvous
- Good Food & Good Company!
 any toys/games/books/puzzles which
your children or grand-children no longer
use
Electrical PAT Testing
Monday 27th October
 any second-hand cook books, cooking
pots, storage racks, mugs, aprons etc.
Every piece of portable electrical equipment we
use here is inspected and tested by our
electrician once a year. They are then added to
a list of “approved for use” electrical equipment.
There is a sticker on each plug to show this has
been done and when checked.
`
Monday the 27 th October is the date set this
year.
If you have any electrical equipment at home
which you may use here bring it along for
testing
The electrician will check it out and add to the
list – and add a nice sticker to your plug.
As well as this yearly test it is important that you
make a visual check of any electrical appliance
before use. Things like broken or bare wires –
loose leads in plug tops – or damage to the
appliance itself will tell you not to use that
equipment.
Also if you use any electrical equipment outside
an additional trip switch (RCD) must be used.
They are in the roller cupboard.
If you have any questions or would like any help
to get your electrical equipment here please
give me a call.
Thank you.
Eric Jones 01202 880152
 any small plastic trays (the sort fruit are
usually sold on by supermarkets but not
ones which have had raw meat on them.
Please give these directly to Jill
Laybourne.

any home-made jams/marmalades/
chutneys etc. for the St Michael’s
Kitchen stall
The three schools in the parish and the
cubs/brownies will be invited to sing carols with
the community round the tree whilst the chair of
the parish council turns on the lights. The
Market will open as soon as these are over – at
around 5.10/5.15 p.m.
There will also be a competition for children,
with 1st/2nd/3rd prizes for two age-groups –
details to follow later.
We are away now until the end of October so will,
hopefully, be able to finalize the List of Stalls
when we get back.

Message from Sheila
PROPOSED BOUNDARY CHANGES
Heartfelt thanks to everyone for the support
given over the past twelve months. Your muchneeded prayers, home visits, transport to
hospital, trips out for Gordon, telephone calls,
all very much appreciated.
Bless you all.
Sheila
East Dorset District Council is proposing to alter
Colehill’s boundary, which, if it goes ahead, will
rip the heart out of the Colehill community.
St. Michael’s Church, the Vicarage,
St. Michael’s School, the Reef, the War
Memorial, Beaucroft School, Colehill Sports &
Social Club, Colehill Cricket Ground & the
Horns Inn will no longer be in Colehill but in
Wimborne

tickets on Sundays from mid November, so it
would be helpful to receive items by Sunday 2nd
November if possible.

Please can members of the congregation save

need about 20 - please either leave them at
the back of church during the week or
in the office in the Centre.
Many thanks
Suzanne

WHITE POPPIES
Last year some people asked me about the
white poppy I wore on Remembrance Sunday. I
explained that they were issued by the
Peace Pledge Union
http://www.ppu.org.uk/whitepoppy/ as a symbol
of resisting the drive to war. Some people wear
them alongside the red poppy to show respect
for the fallen as well as opposition to war as a
way of trying to solve conflict.
Some of you expressed a wish to wear one
yourselves so I've ordered & bought a lot more
this year! If you would like one contact me on
01202 693837 or [email protected]

CHRISTMAS IS COMING
WIMBORNE CARERS’ GROUP
Carers are people who look after loved ones
with an illness or disability in their own homes.
It can be a very lonely and stressful life,
although carers usually take great pride in their
careful attention to the needs of their loved one.
The Wimborne Carers’ Group is a joint
church/Prama initiative which meets at St
John’s Church, Leigh Road on the third
Friday of each month and offers carers an
opportunity to chat with others in the same
situation, to enjoy coffee and home made cake,
listen to a relevant and uplifting speaker, and
share information. If you think you could help to
run the group by making a cake, or by coming
along to be a listening ear, then please contact
Mary Morris on 01202 883421 or
[email protected] for more information.
THANK YOU
NEDRA wishes to express her thanks for
thoughts, prayers & support following the sad
loss of her father in America.
Have you bought your Christmas Cards yet?
Just a reminder that the cards that we have
been making in aid of South Sudan will be
available again next Sunday – 2nd November
.
Lots of Christmas cards ( £1.50 for a pack of
5) and also the usual Birthday cards,
Congratulations, Blanks etc.
Come and take a look.
They will be at the back of church on
November1st so that those attending the
8am can also have an opportunity to buy.
Thanks - Jill
