The Ferret Racing is indeed on 7th February which is in fact a SATURDAY. Apologies for my mistake.

Friday 7th February at 7pm – Ferret Racing – a fun filled evening in the Village Hall. More details to follow. Tickets will be limited. Marion and Kate

It is a busy time in Advent with so many services and community events happening in the church, and we want to thank everyone who has been, and is so supportive, of them all. We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to everyone who supported our Christmas coffee and craft morning last Saturday 6th December. It was a very happy and busy event with lots of people coming to meet up with others, enjoy refreshments, and browse for seasonal gifts. Our craft table holders were delighted with their trade and business was brisk which was excellent. Our fabulous home made Christmas cake was a great success and helped, along with donations, contribute to a wonderful total which has now risen to £812. We thank everyone who helped in any way, to make this a great annual fundraiser for the church.

And yesterday, Sunday 14th, we had our Carol Service which was a joyous event with a packed church. Again, our thanks to all the helpers who made this possible and so enjoyable, with varied traditional and more modern readings, plenty of singing and all finishing with mulled wine and lashings of mince pies. None of this would be possible without your support, and we thank you all.

Christingle is always celebrated with great enthusiasm in Timberscombe, so make sure to arrive in plenty of time! on Christmas Eve for a 5pm start. All are welcome.

Thank you from Marion, Kate and all the PCC

You are warmly invited to join in our village Carol Service on Sunday at 4pm in St Petrock’s Church. Traditional carols and readings welcome our progress towards Christmas. Mulled wine and festive nibbles will follow. There is no charge for refreshments. We hope to see you there! Kate and Marion

A reminder that we hope you will join us this Saturday morning 6th December, from 10.30am to midday, for the annual Christmas fundraiser for the church. We have lots of wonderful craft stalls as well as our own church stand with goodies for presents, a raffle with terrific prizes to win, a selection of home made Christmas cakes and goodies, a special hand-made Christmas cake to be won by raffle, a bottle raffle and entertainment for the children. Everyone is welcome, there is no admission charge. Hot drinks and home made mince pies will be on sale to tempt you between browsing. The church looks beautiful with a decorated tree outside, greenery and candles and twinkly lights inside, along with festive music. Come and enjoy a relaxing hour of two with other villagers and visitors. See you there! Kate and Marion
