Strawberry Fair A heartfelt thank you to everyone who worked together to make the Strawberry Fair, a lovely day despite the weather! The gazebo builders did a fantastic job in preparation for the deluge that was forecast and yes did it rain! The heavens opened at 1pm and Greythorne, our live band, raised our spirits with “ I Can See Clearly Now The Rain Has Come!” They must have charmed the heavens with their music as we then had a two hour window of sunshine for everyone to enjoy themselves. Thank you to cake bakers, scone makers, tea makers, plant sellers, stall holders and everyone who bought raffle tickets and donated raffle prizes and helped in any way. Thank you especially to everyone who came and supported the day. The fantastic final total is just over £3000 which goes towards the upkeep of our beautiful church. The Strawberry Fair can only take place with the goodwill and help from so many people. We welcome any new volunteers and new ideas for next time and thank you once again for all your fantastic support this year.
Hazel Menzies We are very sad to learn of the recent death of Hazel Menzies. Hazel was a member of Holy Trinity for over 50 years, from the 1970’s when she came to Willoughby and subsequently during all the time she lived in Keyworth. For many of these years she was secretary to the PCC. She always had a genuine interest in the life of the church in Wysall and supported the five or six vicars who came and went throughout her time here. She maintained a strong connection with Wysall for as long as she was able, being a regular member of the Luncheon Club right up until the covid lockdowns. Failing health meant a move to Belvoir Vale but we were delighted to welcome her to a Coffee Morning earlier this year when the care home brought a small group along. We send our condolences to her family and give thanks for her long life.
Tedesca Concert Always popular, the Tedesca String Quartet will be with us again in September on Friday 13thSeptember. Lucky for some! Tickets from Julia, £25 adults, £5 children
