FRIENDS OF ST. IPPOLYTS CHURCH
As we discussed at our last meeting, we need to boost our funds this year. Please would you all be so kind as to bring a cake for our tea party on Sunday 26th June. Full details on page 11. You are all so generous with your time already so please forgive for asking.
Our AGM will be in September.

GREAT WYMONDLEY CHURCH RESTORATION
Progress continues to plan with the heating pipework for our future heating system installed. Our thanks to Stuart Mc Donnell for his knowledge in designing the system and for him and his team for the installation. Again, ably supported by some members of our community who can now add assistant heating engineers as well as Kango hammer operators to their cv’s!
We prepared the form work with thanks to Damien Bernard for his thoughtful help and we then welcomed a rather oversized Limecrete mixer lorry that ended up in the church field. The team of 5 guys from The Limecrete Company did a great job to give us a level screed as a base for our tiles. We now await the screed to cure before we take the next big step but in the meantime our handmade Norfolk Pammett tiles have arrived.

ST. IPPOLYTS FUND RAISING EVENT
FLOWER FESTIVAL - 27th 28th and 29th August
A Flower Festival is planned for the August Bank Holiday weekend with a theme of illustrating the names of pubs using flowers and props. The pubs can be local, one that you have visited or one that has an unusual name. We also wish to involve our parish community groups and to offer them publicity at the festival. You do not have to be an excellent flower arranger, just keen to be involved and to create a fun and interesting display. If you would like to participate, the fund raising group has lots of ideas if you are unsure of what to do.
To for more information, or to offer help, please contact Mary Hooper (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
