One of the editors of this magazine, Joyce Beeson, is stepping down!
We hasten to add, not from helping to write and organise this very magazine making sure it gets to your doorstep with all the news, articles, and pictures about what goes on in our thriving village. No, Joyce is finally stepping down as a member of the PCC, that is the Parochial Church Council, the body of parishioners who run our church.
Joyce has been a member of a PCC for many years, during which she’s also been a churchwarden and she has been one of the key organisers of church events from Christmas Fayres, coffee mornings, flowers in church and many other events in our yearly calendar. Now however, although Joyce will be a willing helper for others, she wants to relinquish one of her many responsibilities to spend more time with her husband Wally, her garden, her family and just enjoying life.
In recognition of the work she has done as a PCC member our vicar Martin organised a gift of flowers and wine for her, which were given to her at her last PCC in November, where she posed for a photo opportunity with our two churchwardens Charles and Maggie.
Our heartfelt thanks to Joyce for all the work she has done as a PCC member over many years.
