THE FRIENDS OF BAWDESWELL CHURCH

 

The July Coffee Morning and Quarterly Draw will take place in the church on Saturday 2nd July at 1030am.  It is open to all.  Please join us for a coffee.

This month we celebrate the Church Anniversary with a Buffet Supper and Concert.  Full Details below.

The May Ball went very well and we thank all who supported it.  It was generally considered to be a great success.  The Marquee was beautifully decorated with flowers and table arrangements, the food was good, the band very professional and the company good.  Hopefully we can do this again another year.

To the residents around the Recreation Ground, we apologise for any disturbance that might be have caused by the live music that night.  We endeavoured to write to you all in advance to inform you of our plans, and we were pleased to see many of you come to and enjoy the event and not just put up with it!  The music stopped at the time we were instructed on the Licence and we apologise that that was not good enough for one of you and perhaps others.
