THE RECTOR'S LETTER Dear Parishioners,
I acknowledge with many thanks donations to the Magazine Fund
from Mr. and Mrs. Creber, Ford, Bean and Barr. To · all those who
have sup-ported the Magazine I am most grateful ; to those who have
not given anything, either at all or recently, J appeal for their
support. There is a box in the Post Office into which you can place
your contribu-tion, and you can buy envelopes at the Post Office to
put your donations in .Whether or no the Magazine continues must
and does depend on how much money comes in. It does contain a good
deal of information about parish activities and what is going
on.
The Young Wives are starting their meetings again on alternate
Wednesdays in the afternoon.
The Brownie Pack is up to full strength-possibly more than full
- and is providing a much needed organisation in the parish . Like
most organ-isations, money is needed. The Pack started without any
money, so to provide some funds Mrs.S.Pearman is holding a whist
drive in the Village Hall on Friday, October 27th . Please support
this effort to provide something for the youngsters. If you don't
play whist, will you give a prize ? If you don't want to give a
prize, please give a donation to Brownie Pack Funds. Two shillings
and half-crowns soon add up to a tidy sum. Please give to Mrs.
Pearman, Trenance, Northfield Road, and her Brownies your
support.
Yours, JOHN C. BRASHA W,
Rector.
CHURCH REPAIR FUND
Voiuntary labour has done much in clearing away ru'bbish behind
the church, and in preparatory digging for drains to take away rain
water from the foundations.
Yards of sixpences continue to be completed, and the flower and
vegetable stall on Saturday mornings does very well. To all who
give, our deepest thanks are given. We must raise £500 before
December 31 st in order to qualify fo.r the very gen· erous gift of
£500 from a parishioner. This would make £1,000, not quite half the
sum needed for urgent and immediate repairs.
SHERFIELD VILLAGE HALL

SHERFIELD MEN'S SOCIETY
The second annual general meeting of the Sher-field Men 's
Society was held on Wednesday, 6th September, according to the
rules of the Society. Only four members, however, presented
themselves. Tn view of this general disinterest in the organisation
by the village and the apathy they showed last season, it has been
decided to disband the Society and offer the funds and other
holdings to the Youth Club.
If there are any objections to this proposal, it is suggested
that the Chairman, Mr. H . E. Sefton, be approached within 15 days
of the pUblication of this notice when , if necessary, a meeting of
members will be convened.
WOMEN'S INSTITUTE
In the absence of Mrs. Dodd and Mrs. Willis, Miss Butler kindly
undertook to be president of the meeting of the W.L on 7th
September.
The usual business was discussed and many suggestions for the
sale of work in November were made and approved. This is, of
course, 'Open', and part of the funds will go to the Cancer
Research Campaign.
There are a large number of meetings and other activities in the
county to attend, and the Drama Group is again busy with a play.
Mrs. Willis had a coffee morning at her house. The competition, of
autumn berries and leaves, was won by Mrs. Bulpit and Mrs. Agnew.
Sale of goods at the stall and a competition did a brisk trade,
followed by a welcome tea to end a pleasant aftenioon.
Miss Roward Jones spoke on the work of an Almoner in the
hospitals, and was thanked by Mrs. BUlpit on behalf of the
members.
YOUNG WIVES' GROUP
The Young Wives' Group meets on Wednesday, October 4th, to start
the autumn term. Six meetings in all have been arranged throughout
the term, and we would like to welcome any new members who would
like to join us. Some very interesting speakers ha ve agreed to
come to us.
A whist drive has also been arranged for Friday, October 13th,
at 7.30 p.m. in tbe Village Hall for the Group.
THE BROWNIES
Pack meetings are away with a swing, with all our Brownies
looking very smart in uniform. Our last tweeny has been enrolled ,
a ceremony which the Rector was pleased to see. There is a Church
Parad ~ on October 1st, all Brownies to meet at the Village Hall ,
conveyance to and from church being arranged.
Owing to tbe shortage of funds, we are holding a whist drive on
Friday, October 27th, which we hope will be supported. If anyone
would like to contribute a prize for the above, we shall gladly
accept it.
Brown Owl.
SHERFIELD YOUTH CLUB
On Saturday, August 26th, Sherfield Youth Club held a jumble
sale and social in aid of funds for the new Youtb Club Hall. A
large number of people from and around the village came for the
bargains, which included furniture.
On the day, after all expenses, over £50 was raised, and a large
vote of thanks was given in the evening to Mrs. Dodd and her
helpers for their wonderful effort.
