ST MARY'S Festival Songs of Praise: Takes place in July, when there will be about 30 parish-based churches coming together to fill the church to capacity.

There will be a communal rendition of your top-20 hymns. There are, no doubt, hundreds of favourites, but only 20 can be chosen.

There are nomination forms in the church lobby, but they must be with Christine Young by next Friday.

You can send them to her at 8 Pelham Close.

PARISH council meeting: On Monday, at 7.30pm, in the committee rooms at the recreation ground.

There is still a vacancy for a parish councillor and also a part-time litter warden. Call Julie on 462847 for details.
