Horley’s Christmas Market will be virtual this year

Sadly we won’t be able to have Horley’s Christmas market in the Church this year, but a selection of the usual stalls will be available virtually instead.  More details to follow, but for starters, you can order Christmas cards and Advent calendars from one of our usual stall holders, Agnes from Flamingo Paperie, who will kindly donate 10% of all orders to Horley Ladies Guild in support of St Etheldreda’s Church.

Browse the online catalogue and then order from Agnes by visiting her website or sending her a message on her facebook page.

Mention ‘Ladies Guild’ in your order to make sure we receive our donation.  Please place your orders by 20 November and they will be delivered in early December.

Breast Cancer Now Virtual Coffee Morning – Thank You All

A huge thank you for your support and generosity for the Ladies Guild Breast Cancer Now Virtual Coffee Morning.  We sold 30 cakes, 7 small bakes and 10 pots of jam and with the additional donations on Just Giving raised an amazing sum of £430.

Thanks in particular go to Sue Ashdown who co-ordinated the complex cake makers vs purchasers, it was a great success.



Children’s Halloween Trail – Saturday 31st October

Halloween

“On Saturday 31st October children who live in Horley (and their parents) are invited to take part in a Halloween Trail around the village. To ensure it is a covid- safe activity children will be following a map (see below), and keeping to groups of 6 or less, to find different spooky items (and of course sweets!) located around the village. All sweets will be individually wrapped and each station will have one treat per child. We won’t be knocking on any doors and unfortunately we can’t accept any treats put out in front of houses. We would love villagers to join in by putting out their carved pumpkins to light our path by 5pm on Saturday 31st. Maps and glow sticks for children will be available from underneath the village notice board.”

If you would like us to email you a copy of the map or if you have any other questions please contact Sarah at sarahtaylor0403@gmail.com

Thanks and Happy Halloween!

Sarah Taylor and Ellie Freeman

It’s Pete’s Birthday, let’s celebrate!

Many of you may know Pete Miers, our resident furniture maker.

Pete will be celebrating his 90th birthday on Saturday, 24th October.

To mark this special occasion it has been suggested that we buy a young Oak Tree to plant in the village (unless anyone has another idea) as a reminder of all the work Pete has done for many of us over the years, and hopefully will continue to do.

If you would like to contribute towards a gift, please contact Sue Patching.
