wardens who meet six times a

fundraising, church upkeep,
finance and mission. There is a
vacancy for the Secretary and
we welcome new people. Full
training given!

Jo Cook has kindly volunteered
to become the new Treasurer.
Snowdrop time in Somerford Keynes churchyard
Paul Youde and Gwyneth Gibbens are
leaving our benefice at the end of June,
Paul to retirement and Gwyneth to a new
Curacy at Leckhampton. If you wish to
contribute to a leaving gift, Jan Coleridge
is accepting cash donations.
On a positive note David and Angie
Austin are being ordained on the day
that Paul and Gwyneth leave us. David
will be attached to our benefice, and
Angie to South Cerney.
The church was full for the Friends winter concert
on Saturday 1st December for a performance by
the Cirencester Guitar Ensemble. The group was
of mostly young players. several are under 16, two
of whom are entering an international competition
in Germany early next year. We were entertained
with a mixture of music from Vivaldi, Granados,
through Glen Miller to carols. The group is
obviously talented, and has junior sections in
Powells and other schools. Mulled wine and mince
pies kept us warm as usual.

Keynes Bells
There are four bells of
which three are
mediaeval. Our
Millennium Project was
to rehang the bells so
that they could be
properly rung. As the
bells are part of a listed
building and of such
age, they are not
allowed to be tuned.
Nor do they swing over.
But ringing them is fun.
