Talents Challenge

It's not every treasurer who hands out fivers! Once again, Thackley folk put there all into the treasurer's challenge to make their £5 grow. We had coffee mornings, an open garden with jazz, a bistro meal, a Web, Wikis and Blogs course, quizzes, baking and plant sales, children made sweets, biscuits and prayer cards to sell, and lots more! £95 was given out in £5 notes, and between Easter and July we turned that into a whopping £762.40 (the original £95 has been taken off this amount)! A fantastic result. Well done, to everyone who participated.

President's Weblog

The leaders of the Methodist Church have launched a weblog. Revd Martyn Atkins, President of the Conference, and Vice President Ms Ruby Beech will use the weblog to share their thoughts during their year of office - see http://methodist-presandvp.blogspot.com/ . There's also opportunity for you to offer your comments.
