Table Top Sale
Table Top Sale
Saturday's Table Top sale raised a total of £350. The proceeds from the cake stall (£50) will go towards the gift Steve and Sue take to Kosova with
them this summer and the rest will be added to the mission fund. Thank you to everyone for their support and for items for the sale. Any remaining unsold items were donated to local charity shops and our Day Centre

Albert Frokku Update
Albert Frokku Update
Bertie’s December news letter is now available in the church foyer. More recent news is that Bertie has been appointed as Coordinator for the Smile
work for Kosova. This will make him financially secure but Bertie was keen to pass on the message that without the support of Fellside he would not
have been able to start the work in Rahovec. This is still going to continue and Bertie is looking forward to continuing the work in partnership with Fellside Church.

Knitting for Kosova
Knitting for Kosova
The lorry containing shoeboxes and also our blankets arrived safely in Kosova just before Christmas and there is a picture on the board of Jean with
all the boxes of blankets in the temporary warehouse. After all the shoeboxes had been delivered priority then would be to get the blankets transported
to the Smile centre and distributed. There is a huge number of boxes of blankets but the message was that they could never have enough! Thank
you to all those people who are continuing knitting and also for those people buying up wool from charity shops. Another possibility ( and good for recycling!) would be to unpick, wash and reuse any good quality hand knitted garments. If you have anything like this please leave the garment in the vestibule. All the Smile shoeboxes contained a hat, gloves and scarf ( again -see picture on the notice board) and it may be that some people might like to turn their hand to knitting some of these for a change.( squares are still required!) There is pattern on the board and also an example of the finished
garments. Please help yourself to a pattern if you would like one, or use one or your own. Thank you again for all you are doing and please pass on these thanks to any other knitters you know.

Property Matters
Property Matters
The property committee have decided to bring back the system of reporting any faults via a book which will be placed on the table in the vestibule (the
book is silver so hopefully you won't miss it). If you find anything wrong with the premises, however large or small please put this in the book which will
be checked regularly. If it is urgent or the task can be completed easily we will endeavour to do this immediately. If it is a larger task it wil be taken to
the next property committee meeting and the task will be allocated. We will be meeting every 2 months so hopefully it will not be too long before it is repaired.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help with the painting - The committee has decided that this should take place in the spring, when the
weather is better - so I will be in touch nearer to the time.
Finally it would be helpful if we had a few volunteers would could be available during the week to let tradesmen into the premises. This should not
happen very often but if you are able to help out on an occasional basis please give your name to Christine Graham.
