TEAS in church: Every July weekend from 2pm to 5pm.

There are several weddings that will reduce the number of Saturday teas this year.

Our church is lucky to have nine weddings planned at the moment and we wish all the couples the very best on their special days.

METHODIST cream teas: Every Sunday, from 3pm to 5pm throughout July. In the garden if fine.

SILCHESTER Association: Will welcome everyone to a picnic on the common on August 31. Bring your own picnic from noon to 4pm. Lots of games and fun for all.

ROMAN dig: Watch next week for the date of an open day at the much-reduced dig on the Roman site in Silchester.

Village market: On Saturday, August 1, from 10am to noon.

There are so many bargains, fresh meat, veg, flowers cakes, cheeses, hand-made cards and other crafts.

I wish all my readers a happy summer holiday; don’t forget to keep the news coming in to the number above. Safe journeys to you all.
