We'd love everyone in the parish to join us at these meetings.


2011 marks the amalgamation of Mothers' Union and Ladies' Guild at Saint Nicholas'.  A short history of Ladies' Guild is in the October/November Messenger and we'd love to receive other stories, photographs and information to complete the work that Rose and Nan have begun.  Both organisations have given Saint Nicholas' a solid core of dedicated people who have supported one another through many difficult times; and have rejoiced with one another in the good times.  
This joining together brings the best of both groups into one and will take the work among women in the parish forward into a new phase.

Members enjoy Christmas Dinner with the Ladies' Guild
