Gardening Club
The Gardening Club held their monthly meeting as arranged on Tuesday 5th April at the usual venue, Barnby moor Village Hall at 7:15pm. Committee members arriving slightly earlier as the annual membership subscriptions were due for payment on the night and to avoid any delays as visitors arrived. Such good value at only £15;00 per person for the year.
Finances taken care of, it was time to get down to the evening’s agenda! Chairperson Jenny Bailey welcomed members to the event and was pleased to introduce guest speaker for the evening, Dave Newman, who would address the gathering on Small Garden Food Production. Dave and his wife Jane run and supervise the Sage Gardener CIC programme of activities, which includes a host of activities at a variety of locations and adopted gardens which can offer support to different people and work with other partners. The venues are places where people, especially those who are carers, older, lonely and / or are affected by mild mental health issues and whose carers can come along and meet others and relax, whilst picking up gardening tips ready for future use.
The talk itself covered a variety of vegetable products, with the addition of colourful plants and herbs grown in the same tubs/pots or in plots nearby. As well as saving money by growing your own, Dave also told and demonstrated how to adapt various items to use for potting purposes, including yogurt pots, frozen food trays, centre support from toilet rolls and even a way of folding newspapers to start seedlings off. Another very informative chat with members taking home some money-saving ideas and useful hints and tips to improve their gardens.
A few vacancies still exist within the club, please contact: gardeningclub@suttoncumlound.net for further information.

St Bartholomew’s Church
“Palm Sunday” Eucharist took place at the local church on Sunday 10th April. The celebrant on this occasion was Father Adrian Mason assisted by Lay Minister/Reader Joan Herrington. The Epistle: Phil.2. 5-11. Gospel: Luke 23. 1-49. Intercessions: Janet Webb. Organist: Geoff Webb.
Easter Service
At 6:30pm on Good Friday, a Tenebrae service will take place, a service of love and devotion. Tenebrae, Latin for “shadows” or “darkness”, is a solemn observance of Jesus’ passion and death. Tenebrae services generally occur between Wednesday and Friday of Holy Week. The service marks Jesus’ journey to Golgotha and allows for extended meditation through proclamation of the Word in scripture and sermon, as well as through music, increasing darkness, and silent reflection.
At 9:30am on Easter Day, Eucharist will be held, conducted by the Reverend Dick Lewis and again everyone is welcome.
