Despite us all having nothing to do at the present time there are several events planned, both in the community and on Zoom.

You can access them via the Village website, by following the links below.

The Church of England has partnered with Marie Curie on 23^rd March 2021 to mark the first anniversary of the first lockdown in the UK with a national day of reflection to reflect on our collective loss due to Covid-19, support those who have been bereaved, and hope for a brighter future.

Bellringers have been invited by the Church to participate in this day by marking the end of the one minute silent reflection at 12 noon by tolling a bell at 12:01.  There are other ways to get involved on the day detailed on the Marie Curie website at https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/get-involved/day-of-reflection

Accordingly one of the bells at St Lawrence’s will be tolled at 12:01 on Tuesday 23 March

 

There is an update on the Playing Field and notice of the AGM added here.

 

The WI have been meeting on Zoom, our next speaker is John Barkle talking about his book, details here.

 

The Friends of Westbury Church have their AGM in April, and information about the Charity can be found here.
