Annual Parochial Church Meeting: This will take place in the Church Hall at 7.30pm on Thursday March 18. Our Vicar, Garry Hinchcliffe, will take the chair. Those wishing to nominate others, or to stand themselves for offices in our church, should follow the guidelines which will be found at the rear of the Church. All people on the Electoral Roll are authorised to vote at the APCM. This is an evening when you can hear and read about the past year, and also to get an idea as to the future of St James's. The proceedings will be followed by drinks in the Church Hall, and it is hoped that many will stay for this social break.
Jack-In-The-Box Baby and Toddler Group: The baby and toddler group which took place in Birstwith Church Hall on Wednesday afternoons is discontinuing for the time being. If anyone is interested in taking this over, they should contact Sheila Plant on 779155, who is willing to give advice and help in starting up the group again.
Real Comfort on a Plate: Here's a question every mum has asked herself at sometime or other: what is the most comforting food to feed your child when they are feeling a bit desolate? Chicken soup or chocolate cake? Cottage pie or ice cream? Now the neuropsychologists have become curious as well, and so scientists at the University of Sussex calculated a formula to measure foods on a 'Comfort Index.' After exhaustive research they came up with two top results; baked beans on toast or macaroni cheese. Presumably they work on adults too.
