CHRISTMAS Tree Festival: There was a fantastic turnout at Christ Church’s Christmas Tree Festival last weekend, bringing together different community groups. The children’s singing was lovely and fun seemed to be had by all. The local talent in decorating and sometimes even “creating” trees was amazing.

CHINEHAM Village Club: Is having a Christmas Bingo evening next Monday. It will start at 8.30pm, and members are invited to join for some big cash prizes and a lot of fun throughout the evening.

CHRIST Church’s “Who let the Dads out?” session: Will be this coming Saturday, from 10am to 11.30am.

Pre-schoolers and their dads are invited to join for free play, crafts and music, not forgetting the bacon butties! There is no charge.

Later on in the evening, it’s the turn of primary schoolchildren, who are invited to join the church’s Christmas Kids’ Club, 5pm-6.30pm. All the usual fun and games will be on offer. The entrance fee is £1 – take some extra cash for tuck.
