Help shape our Men’s Group!
Our Christmas Box project was wonderful and attracted a new set of men to our men’s group. We are having a session next Monday 12th January, at 11am in church to help shape the direction of this group. We are looking for any suggestions or interest that people would like to participate in. This could be anything from card/board games to photography to cooking to joinery. It will meet on Mondays but at a different time to the other group and will be indoors in the church.

If you are able to join us on Monday we would love to see you to help create an exciting new Men’s Shed!

What a beautiful autumn day in Witton Gilbert! Birds heard this morning were Robin, Crow, Great Tit, Chaffinch, Dunnock, Goldcrest, Mistle Thrush, Long-tailed Tit, Nuthatch, Blackbird, Jackdaw, Wren, and Blackcap! We have a lovely walk every Friday, leaving from outside the church at around 10am. It's a beautiful time of year to walk!

Starting tomorrow, our men's group will be making Christmas Eve boxes to raise funds for Breathing Space and CHAD every Monday morning. Please come along and help us with woodwork or decorating the boxes, whatever you'd like to do.

We hope you all enjoyed this week's Woodland Wonders sessions as much as we did! If you attended, you should have received an email requesting feedback. We use the information to inform our services and to write our funding bids, without which we could not have offered such an incredible service free of charge. The form is available on our website at any time, or via the link in the email, or here! https://forms.gle/BBC4d7A4fkCgfwWZ6 (it has some new questions on it too, exciting!) Thanks for your help!
