Etchinghill Wl
During the summer break we held a Garden Party in
glorious sunny weather. Barbara Syrett auctioned
various items to raise money for the 'stretch a tenner'
scheme. We had a lovely day at Chartwell in August & again the weather was just perfect. In September some of us had a Ploughman's lunch in Ashford followed by a visit to see the film Calendar Girls.
Our September meeting was well attended. Dottie
Cross took the chair. The speaker was Brenda Pittaway who told us about the swans at Kearsney Abbey. A very interesting talk by a most dedicated lady. The prize for any 'swan object' was won by June Price. Our meeting concluded with a very welcome afternoon tea.

Lyminge Wl
After their very enjoyable Garden Party Meeting held at the home of Christine & Ken Laverty on a glorious July evening, Lyminge Wl had a break in August but was back to normal in September. Members enjoyed a very interesting, and often humorous, talk by Mrs Yvonne Ward on her travels to America and Australia. Mrs Ward had lived in Lyminge in the 1950s and was also able to share news of old acquaintances and a few reminiscences with one or two of our members! Some members had also been to other Wl's over the summer for various garden and birthday parties including Postling, Etchinghill and Lower Hardres and reports of wonderful hospitality and entertainment were shared.

Gift Days - 24th and 25th August
On behalf of the PCC I would tike to thank everyone who gave so generously towards the repairs for the church building. As we go to print the amount raised is £4,688. This is a fantastic total. We distributed 1200 envelopes and just over 100 were handed in, so that's 10% of the village - what a response!
Many people came to the church to ask about the repairs and to have a cup of tea or coffee. Many handed their envelopes in at one of the church services, and many used the different delivery points round the village. However your money reached us, thank you! For those who completed the tax declaration on the envelope, thank you for doing this. This means there will be even more money available
for the repairs when the tax is reclaimed.
The church looked beautiful, bathed in soft summer light, with wonderful flowers over the porch, in the aisle and at the altar, after the weddings the day before. If you didn't come this time to the church, we
hope you may come in the future. We will certainly keep you informed about the repairs as they progress. Rev. Peter Ashman
