Licensing
A request was received from The
Anchor public house in Station
Road for increased opening
hours - until 1am on Fridays and
Saturdays. Councillors considered
this unacceptable especially in
view of the fact that The Anchor is
surrounded by housing, and they
recommended that closing time
should be 11.30pm in keeping with
village public house time.
United Reformed Church
Thirty men attended a meeting of
the Men’s Breakfast on a recent
Saturday morning when, after a
full English breakfast, Dr Richard

thought-provoking-presentation on
the challenges of bioscience.
St Luke’s Church
a) Men’s Supper Club - The last
meeting of the winter session
of the Men’s Supper Club,
attended by 48 men, was held
on a Tuesday evening recently
when Mrs Lynne Barker gave
a fascinating presentation, with
videos, of the work of the Mission
Aviation Fellowship (MAF), a
Christian organisation which, in
small aeroplanes, fl ies medical and
educational supplies to remote and
almost inaccessible parts of the
world.
b) Palm Sunday - On Palm Sunday
(April 1) Parish Communion
commenced in the church
extension and, after the distribution
and blessing of palm crosses,
the congregation processed into
church. During the course of the
service the Passion of our Lord
according to Mark was read in
semi-dramatic form by members of
the congregation. This service was
followed by a service of Morning
Worship attended by the children of
Sunday Club.
