Week commencing 13th October

Our move

By now, many if not all of you will know that Jude and I will be leaving St Anne's in January and moving to Vancouver Island, Canada. I will be taking up a post of Rector at the parish of St Philip-by-the-sea, Lantzville. If you want to find out more , please look at their website: www.stphilipslantzville.org 

Our last Sunday at St Anne's will be 12th January.

This has been a very difficult decision and we will miss our many friends in Bagshot. Hopefully, we will have plenty of time to make our farewells over the next couple of months.

The churchwardens, Yvonne and Gordon, will be contacting the archdeacon soon to find out more about the process of appointing a new vicar for St Anne's and I know that who ever is appointed will be a very fortunate person. We have enjoyed the last 6 years a lot and will carry with us many happy memories of Bagshot.        David

Pickle Night - 9th November

The first Pickle Night Dinner is being organised by the Friends of St Anne's and is an opportunity to invite friends to come to a good dinner and find out more about the small part Bagshot played in way that the news of the victory at Trafalgar was brought from Falmouth to London. It is also a chance for people to find out more about the Friends of St Anne's and how they can support their local church.

Tickets cost £10 per person and include a three course meal, a tot of rum and a glass of port - all essential for a proper Pickle Night (or so I am reliably informed!).

 If you would like to come to this event in the Church Centre (and bring a friend or two as well), then please contact me, either in person of by email at vicar@saintannebagshot.org.uk                    David
