ETCHILHAMPTON VILLAGE HALL COMMITTEE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Tuesday November 12th at 8pm at Etchilhampton Village Hall. All welcome! Come an enjoy a free glass of wine. New committee members always welcome Ride and Stride Saturday 14th September. We at All Saints, All Cannings had another good day, although the weather changed and it was definitely colder. The numbers of people riding was 13 sponsored groups with a total of 18 individuals taking part. The number of under 15’s was 10 in total with Molly Holder this year raising a magnificent 3 figure sum followed closely by Luke Bullock and Monty Yates. Luke Bullock spent several days planning a route that he and Monty Yates would take, with their route covered 16 churches and 17 miles was cycled.. The youngest group of riders were the England’s made up of Ben, Harry and Ollie aged 3,7 and 11. They visited 5 Churches starting at St Marys Upavon at 14.33 and finishing at All Saints at 17.40. So we had a range of riders from 70 years young to 3 years old, and in total we raised £803.01 for Wiltshire Historic Churches of which our Church, All Saints gets half of the total raised by our group. Next year perhaps we could do a Character theme for riders resembling a famous character? Well done and thank you to all participants for a great effort. See you next year and please tell your friends, it would great to be able to win the Team Challenge in 2014.Thank you all including all of the teams behind the scenes, the people who manned the Church, proud Mums and Dads Family Breakfast Service Scott lead the service on the theme of Harvest. He encouraged to think about the origins of Harvest thanksgiving by considering the historical context of the Israelites fleeing from the Egyptians and arriving, after forty years of wandering, in the Promised Land. The reading from Deuteronomy gave an account of the first thanksgiving for a successful harvest. Thank you Scott for a very interesting talk and thank you to Gill for providing the breakfast and the music.

DEADLINE: 12TH OF THE PREVIOUS MONTH Preparations are well under way for our second Community Christmas Fayre to be held in the village on Saturday, 7th December between 9 am – 1 pm. The Fayre is being organised by volunteers from The Youth Action Group, St Mary’s church, the Crown Inn and the primary school and pre-school. Once again they will be selling Nordman Fir Christmas Trees in the car park of The Crown Inn and holding a Christmas Market inside St Mary’s church. The Christmas Fayre Committee has been meeting regularly since July to finalise plans for next month’s event. “We had such a wonderful time last year working together, planning and preparing the Fayre” said organiser Caroline Martin. “and this time round we have lots of new volunteers from the village too! We hope families from throughout the parish will come along and support us again by buying their Christmas Tree locally. Our Christmas Market in the church will include even more festive stalls, craft activities for the children, choir singing, tours of the Bell Tower, Santa’s Grotto and a new event – the Bishops Cannings Christmas Bear Zip Wire descent!” Christmas Trees will be on sale in the car park of The Crown Inn for one morning only and a free delivery service will again be available to households within the parish. “According to our research, Nordman Fir is still one of the most popular Christmas tree varieties” said Debbie Tibbert, newly appointed Chair of the Friends of Bishops Cannings Primary School. “They have a classic Christmas tree shape and excellent needle holding properties – so we hope people will come along and buy one at a very competitive price”. Parents will be selling the trees and Year 6 pupils will be helping to net the trees for delivery. If you’re ready for breakfast after purchasing your tree – the Youth Action Group will have their BBQ nearby “We’ll be serving bacon rolls to keep our customers fortified whilst they choose their tree” said Kathy Crossfield from Bishops Cannings YAG. “and if you come along at lunchtime we’ll have burgers and hot dogs to keep you going”. Refreshments will also be available inside the church where the Christmas Market will include a range of festive stalls and Christmas gifts to tempt visitors. There will be local artists and craft stalls and plenty for the youngsters too. “We’ll have our popular Craft Corner where children can make a Christmas wreath or decoration” said Emma Stoneham, Chair of the Pre-School PTA “and we’re especially grateful to Santa Claus for popping in to see the children too!” The church will also be full of festive musical magic with performances by members of the church and school choir singing well known Christmas Carols and songs. “Rehearsals are going well” said Church Choirmaster Alan Stonell “and we hope as last year that visitors to the Fayre will join in too”. Tours of the Bell Tower were very popular last time and this year you can not only visit our very own church bells but have a go on a “practice bell” as well! Parking for the event will be at the Village Hall car park, the yard at The Old Manor House (by kind permission of Mr & Mrs Sheppard) and on the playground and staff car park at the Primary School.
