• ANGIE Talbot says that the October book swap on Saturday October 11 from 10am until 11am will also include a sale of perennial plants.

As Autumn gets underway, now is a good time to divide your hardy perennials and make some money by selling any surplus plants or seedlings at our plant sale, Angie adds.

The usual rules apply:

* It would be helpful if you could let Jenny Beedle or Angie Talbot know in advance if you require a table.

* The hall will be open from about 9.45am for you to set out your stall.

* We will sell your plants for you if you cannot be there but please put prices on the plants for us.

*Ten per cent of your takings to the village hall funds.

Book swapping will take place as usual.

There are lots of interesting titles to swap, also a growing collection of films on DVDs and video tapes.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available.

Thank you to all those who have brought vegetables and plants to sell through the summer months.

We look forward to seeing you all on October 11.

• TICKETS for the genealogy talk in the village hall on Thursday, October 30 at 7.30pm will be available from September 29.

These can be purchased in advance at a cost of £3.50 from Philippa Thorniley by telephoning 01929 471 497.

This talk by Kirstin Duffield will illustrate how to unlock the past by the use of the internet, and sounds to be an absolutely fascinating evening.

If you wish to submit information of missing ancestors between 1780 and 1910 for possible selection for a live search during this presentation, email Kirstin direct at treemad@btinternet.com
