Romans at Castor – an evening with Professor Stephen Upex
Friday 5th March 7.00 for a 7.30 start

Professor Upex is a leading archaeologist and has recently published a book ‘The Romans in the East of England; Settlement and Landscape in the Lower Nene Valley’ , signed copies available to buy on the evening. If you want an insight into the lives of those living at Castor 2000 years ago and what lies beneath St. Kyneburgha, then join us for the evening.

Wine and nibbles will be available.

This will be a very popular event and we are keen to estimate numbers before we confirm the venue in January.

Kyneburgha Garden Trail

We plan to hold an open gardens weekend to coincide with the church flower festival.

We hope that many of you who so generously opened your gardens for the wine safari will do so again.

If you would like to open your garden please contact Claire Winfrey, claire@winfrey.co.uk

Fundraising on the First Sunday of the Month @ St Kyneburgha's Family Service

As you might know, the first Sunday of each month at St Kyneburgha's is a family friendly service. The children help to take the service, and at the end there's refreshments and Traidcraft things to buy. As you also might know, the church fund-raising task is ever-present! Our gathering following the service has now moved to the Cedar Centre and we are delighted to offer refreshments and a small number of stalls (Traidcraft, cakes and second-hand books/cd/dvd), straight after church (11.15am).

Please join us for a cup of coffee after the service, and hopefully we can raise a bit of money for the church in a fairly painless way!

We will hold our October First Sunday Coffees and More on Sunday 4th and will also be there on Sunday 1st November.

If you would like to help or bake a cake, please contact Helen Tovey on 01733 380617 or (preferably) email helentovey@aol.com

To donate books/Cd’s/DVD’s, please contact John Morris on 01733 380349 or email john@morrisjj.com

If you are interested in holding a stall or simply volunteering your help please contact Jo Morris on 01733 380900 or email admin.castor@btconnect.com
