Sid Bolan Big Band Concert

Saturday 5th August 2023

The weather on Saturday was dreadful so we had to transfer the concert from the churchyard to the Village Hall at short notice.  We tried to people know about the change of venue, but many were probably put off by the heavy rain so we had fewer in the audience than normal.

Those who did come had an enjoyable evening with a ploughman's supper in the interval.

We thank the members of the Sid Bolan
Big Band for coming to play for us.

After paying the band, we were left with
£555 towards church funds.

Thank you for all your support and help, which made a lovely evening.

We look forward to welcoming the Sid Bolan Big Band again next year when we hope the weather will be kinder to us.

Billericay Food Bank Coffee Morning

22nd July 2023

A Coffee morning in aid of the Village Hall nominated charity Billericay Food Bank was held at
St Mary's Church on Saturday 22nd July.

The weather started out bright and sunny enabling people to sit outside.  Unfortunately, the wind and rain arrived later in the morning causing us to move inside.

A representative from Billericay Food Bank came along and spoke about the vital service they provide for those in need of food and support.

A total of £270 was raised towards helping this worthwhile charity.

Strawberry Cream Tea

24th June 2023

The Strawberry Cream Tea held at the Village Hall on Saturday 24th June was a very enjoyable afternoon, raising an amazing £861.79 for St. Mary's Church funds.

Everyone enjoyed home made scones, jam, cream and strawberries, together with tea and coffee,
and there was a lovely atmosphere during the whole afternoon.

Many thanks to Audrey Pegrum for organising the event and to all her helpers who served the teas; washed up, sold raffle tickets, cakes and jams, and cleared the hall after the event.
