A Special weekend

This weekend was a special one not just for all those celebrating Mothering Sunday, but also two of our very special members of our congregation, Ken and Daphne Wayne who celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary.  They were presented with a card  and a basket of fruit from the congregation by the Churchwardens, Steven Barrow and Graham Brown.  We wish them many more happy years together.

All the ladies in the congregation received a small posy of daffodils handed out by all the children for Mothering Sunday.

Saturday night proved to be a winner too, as the Nottingham Concert Band gave a wonderful 'Spring Fever' concert to the packed church to start off celebrating their 20th Anniversary Year.  Many of those attending may have remembered their Conductor, Robert Parker from his time spent teaching in East Leake. 

If you missed the concert there are still other opportunities to hear them as they will be at:

West Bridgford 'Proms in the Park on Sat. 25th June
Ruddington, Anniversary Concert on Sat. 16th July and
Loughborough, Bandstand concert on Sunday 24th July.

Litter Pickers. A small group of volunteers from St Mary's turned up at the Parish Office to join the village Litter Pick Day on Saturday.  We hope to increase the numbers next year when more can be done, but preferably there will be less to pick up.
