Leesfield Parish July 10th 2016


Many thanks to everyone who made last Sunday’s opening such a good event! It was good to be able to celebrate such an achievement. We look forward now to finding ways to share our new facilities with the community.

Thank you too to Liz and Paul for the wonderful gala evening last Saturday. Live music and a tasty supper gave all who attended an enjoyable evening.

Harvest Queen Amy and her retinue would also like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone for their support from the many donations received to the gorgeous decorations made by the Sunday School children to the cake bakers and helpers on the stalls to just being there on the day.  You all helped to make their “At Home” such a special event.  It was lovely day filed with lots of special memories!  THANK YOU J x
