THERE are lots of events taking place in October, beginning with a "Meet the Quakers" afternoon during National Quaker Week.

The event will be held in their meeting house, at 14 Fairfields Road, on Sunday, October 5, from 1pm to 4pm.

There will be a chance to talk with them about the things in which Quakers are involved both locally and nationally, and a chance to get to know them better.

Tea and biscuits will be served as well.

They meet for worship every Sunday, from 10.30am to 11.30am. Why not come along and pray in silence with them?

ST LEONARD'S, Cliddesden, is holding its autumn plant sale on Saturday, October 4, at the church. The lych gate opens at 1pm.

This is an ideal opportunity to buy plants and produce at bargain prices.

THE Harvest Festival at St Mary's, Old Basing, will be on Sunday, October 5, where there will be an All Age Eucharist at 9.30am.

THERE will be a Harvest Festival concert at All Saints, Dogmersfield, on Saturday, October 4, at 7.30pm, which will be an evening of music to suit all tastes.
