LOCAL Scout group delivery service: The postboxes will only be in place until tomorrow.

They are placed at Bramley Bakery, Bramley Village Hall, Clift Meadow Surgery and Sherfield Shop. If you have Christmas cards you would like delivered to residents of Bramley or Sherfield (not Sherfield Park) please put them in one of the boxes with a donation of not less than 10p each (in a separate envelope). Please make sure that they are fully addressed, and they will be delivered in time for Christmas.

NATIONAL Women’s Register: The Bramley group met for a busy meeting on November 27 and the programme for 2014 was decided. The newly elected local organiser is Pat Thomson and her deputy Anne Porter. A delicious lunch at the Coach and Horses at Brimpton followed.

CAROLS: On December 22 there will be a carol service at St James' at 6pm. Mince pies and mulled wine will be served. All are welcome, as are contributions towards cakes and pies.

FATHER Christmas: Watch out for him tonight, 6pm, from Bramley Inn to Tudor Close.
