The Swaffham Crier Online

The Anglesey Group Mothers' Union

AT OUR LAST MEETING on Thursday 15th November, Mrs Ros Wright came to speak to us about Christmas Customs. We had the most informative and interesting afternoon learning about these and it is intriguing how many of the customs are pagan in origin. We are grateful to Ros for being so thorough in her research and spending the afternoon sharing her knowledge with us.

As a group we are flourishing with membership continually increasing, and on Thursday afternoon we had 35 ladies listening to Ros. It was a joy to have two new people with us, and it's a lovely way to meet up with friends and always of course sharing in that essential refreshment after listening to our Speaker!

Our next Meeting is on Thursday 13th December and we will be having a "Bring & Share"Christmas Lunch, to which husbands are also invited! We will be meeting in Lode Chapel for our Lunch and are grateful to Simon Goddard and the members of the Chapel for making this possible for us. The next Programme begins on Thursday 17th January 2008 when we will be having a Service at 2.30pm in St. Mary's Church - Swaffham Bulbeck We have a very interesting and varied Programme planned for next year so do come along and join us. You are welcome!
