NORTH BADDESLEY SILVER SURFERS – All Saints’ Church, Wednesdays 10-12 noon. We are delighted to announce that Grassroots (Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Foundation) has awarded the Silver Surfers a grant enabling them to purchase two lap-tops. These will be loaned out for a short period to those who wish to practise at home following a Wednesday morning session. If after using these lap-tops the users feel they would like to purchase their own this will be activity encouraged so more people can “try it and see”. If you already have your own wireless-enabled lap top and would like to learn how to use it and “surf the net” then please bring it along to the sessions. We would be grateful if you would telephone the office if you wish to attend or would like further information.

ALL SAINTS’ BUILDING PROJECT – On our stand at North Baddesley Multi-cultural Village Day in July we were able to show the community some of the activities which take place in the complex at the present time. A new building would mean that there would be more room and better facilities for village groups to meet. If anyone would like to help us with this project of providing a new church building, either in the capacity of an advisor or to help with fundraising ideas please contact the office. We are eager for this project to move forward and would very much like your help so All Saints’ can become a pleasing focal point for the village and a place that will be a benefit to everyone, what ever age group.
