ENDURANCE
Shackleton’s Endurance 1914 to Antarctica Science in 2024
The talk given by Alan Wordie – Shackleton’s Endurance & Antarctic Science in 2024 on Friday 11 October was thoroughly enjoyed by the 135 in attendance. The Church looked beautiful with the flowers from Harvest on display; at the interval the delicious canapés created by our friends in Harringworth went down very well. Congratulations to Matthew and Mary Bremner who won the Harringworth Hamper Raffle.
The evening made an amazing £1,988 for the Appeals Fund with a donation of £500 to the Scott Polar Research Institute for Outreach.
Thank you to everyone who helped to make the evening such a great success.
HARVEST FESTIVAL SERVICE AND LUNCH
The church was beautifully decorated by our talented team of flower arrangers for Harvest with stunning autumn colours and a variety of produce. The Service was well attended as was the delicious lunch prepared by the PCC ladies and friends. The lunch was followed by an auction of produce which raised just over £200 for the Addington Fund, a UK Farming Charity.
