Funerals: I am sorry I did not hear in time for those who would like to know that Michael Rowans funeral was yesterday. Also in the Register of deaths last week it read that sadly Pamela Baker also passed away, again, I am not aware when or where the funeral takes place. However prayers were said for them both in Church.

Brede Bell ringers: would like to thank everyone for their support with their Christmas Tree lights on behalf of a loved one.
