buildings - especially bordering the footpath to the fields.
If you are able to help please contact Pauline on 274525.
Appleby Garden Fete - Thank You
Many thanks to everyone
who helped to make the Garden Fete such a successful event. Thanks
to Robert and Hazel for the use of the Rectory. Thanks also to those
who contributed items, to the Sir John Moore children who danced so
well, to those who worked to put on the event and to all who
supported on the day. Not only was it an enjoyable, sunny afternoon
but we also raised £1000 for church funds.
Sewing Group is hoped to
start a sewing group in Appleby, meeting once a fortnight to make
items to sell at the Christmas Fayre 2009, and the Summer Fete
2010. Depending on numbers we will meet in each others homes or in
the Church Hall. If you are interested please telephone Miriam
Butler 273786 or email
miriam.appleby @ btinternet.com - you don’t have to be experienced
in stitching, there will be lots of help available
Flower Festival
If anyone who is arranging
flowers for the Flower Festival has any worries, or would like to
check on their space, we will be in church on Tues 21 July from 2 -

Appleby Film Club
The Film Club
is now taking its summer break, but will be reopening in Sept. with
another excellent season of films. Last year’s season was a great
success, with films ranging from light comedy, such as the popular
Juno, through musicals and foreign language films, to serious dramas
like The Kite Runner and La Vie en Rose. This year’s programme will
be just as varied, and, as always, compiled from suggestions made by
our members. As usual, we’ll be announcing the programme and dates
when it has all been finalised in August.
If you want to
join, then now is the time as we are holding our prices at last
year’s level: £27 per adult or £22 for over 60’s, for 8 films.
Films are shown once a month on Fridays, and you can come to the
afternoon or evening showing. Refreshments are available, and you
can bring guests if you wish (guest tickets are £5 each, £4 for over
60s).
It is a club,
run by volunteers, so you can get involved as little or as much as
you like. Just come to see the films, or join in the social side
too. Either way it’s a great way to see good films right on your
doorstep.
To join, or
for more information, contact Alison on 01530 274302 or Marilyn on
07770 957963, or email marilyn @ applebymagna.org.uk
Want
to Help? We are
always looking for more active members to help with the
administration, setting up the equipment, and publicising the
films. With extra help we could run more discussions and
film-related events, and if you have some technical expertise your
support would be very welcome. It’s a great way to get to know
people in the village, so if you are interested, contact Alison or
Marilyn.
