CHURCH NEWS everyone as each months draw is made. Thanks go to Mike Menzies for running
this for us again this year.
August saw the village hall start a socially distanced coffee morning on Tuesdays
FROM THE REGISTERS between 10am and 12 noon. Please come along and enjoy a brief chance to

spend some time with one another over a cup of tea or coffee and again help us
raise funds for the hall.once the weather turns, providing we can adhere to indoor
Funerals regulations we hope to be able to continue the coffee morning making use of the
main hall as and when the weather dictates the need until then we will continue
St John the Baptist, Bere Regis using the area outside between the jubilee room and the shop. Please come in
through the village hall main doors and not down the side of the shop.
Wednesday 12th August - Elaine Standfield
Once again it is very encouraging that the hall has been able to play a small part
in providing a little bit of normality back to our lives.
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible and in the meantime take
care and stay safe.
