Friends of St. Michael’s Church On Tuesday 22 June, the Friends of St. Michael's Church regretfully took the decision to cancel the planned Village Get Together on 3 July. The Trustees felt unhappy to proceed with the event given the delay to the lifting of restrictions until 19 July. They were mindful of the Friends' legal responsibilities, the possible risks to everyone attending and the short time left in which to make structural changes. The Friends realise the disappointment this has caused and are looking forward to planning an event once Covid restrictions are lifted. It has been a very trying year, not only for us but everyone, where nothing in life is certain, so we thank you for your continuing support. Please contact the Friends' secretary to keep in touch.

Keene Tickets £5, to includePhoto: fingerBen food and a glass of wine. Proceeds will go towards the upkeep of the church. Booking and enquiries – tel: 01935 872217. Tickets also available at the gate. Sadly, Covid restrictions have forced the Friends of St. Michaels to defer their Village Get Together until an event to be organised later in the year. The Friends will be amalgamating some of the planned activities into the Wine and Cheese party, including musical entertainment and Bonny Sartin (ex Yetties) as compere. Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you on 6 August. John Bingham
Manor Farm, Knighton – Open Garden We were delighted to welcome well over 100 people to Manor Farm on a fine Spring Bank Holiday. Having been coaxed into a donation by Siegfred Johnsen on the gate and parked in the top field by his younger brother, Henry, people began their tours from Knighton Hill with a gentle stroll through our organic wildflower meadows and down through an arboretum, incorporating several different native species to the gardens.
