The Rambler has been informed that the Parochial Church Council (PCC) of St Denys Church wishes "to set up an independent bid-writing committee to apply for grants to support our lovely Church building and grounds as a centre for community use and activity alongside its principal function as a place of worship. The proposed name of this committee is The Friends of St Denys Church, Cold Ashby.

Its inaugural general meeting will take place in the Church of St Denys at 7pm on Thursday 13 December.

This new committee will complement the work of the longstanding and successful Church fundraising group."

Membership of TFSDCCA will be open to all Cold Ashby residents over the age of 18. Anybody who may be interested in becoming a member is invited to the inaugural meeting on 13 December or to contact Debbie Sampson or Angela Edwards beforehand for "an informal chat".

A copy of a poster for this meeting which also has contact details can be found here.
