Thanks:
Marianne and I wish to express our grateful thanks for all
the help - and offers of help - that we received following my
recent surgery. The T.L.C. was really appreciated and it is
good for us once again to be sharing in fellowship with our
Church family.

Aid. If anyone knows of another suitable charity who will
accept, please let me know.

Blue Bins – The church has 2 blue bins. From now on,
there will be no separate tray in the top. Instead, one bin
will be entirely for paper and cardboard, the other entirely
for glass, tins, cans, foil, plastic bottles and trays (but NO
plastic bags – these have to go to Sainsbury's for recycling).
Please check the plastic for the recycling symbol.
Thankyou.

Roger & Helen Davies Leaving Ashbourne
Roger & Helen Davies are leaving Ashbourne at the end of
February & will be moving to rented accommodation in
Bristol initially, to test the water. Roger is beginning a new
career of self-employed consultancy & has a couple of
assignments in the M4 corridor to get started.
They still own their house in Windmill Lane & have rented it
out pro tem, intending to return to Ashbourne, but when is
tricky to estimate. So we don’t think it’s goodbye, but
rather au revoir & both send very best wishes to all friends
