CHURCH - With regard to the west wall and other repair work, the end of the first stage has now been achieved and the contractors are selected, with work beginning on Saturday. It is expected that the church will be able to remain open. As can be imagined, over the last year of financial crisis some of the charities to which we have applied have not had the funds they may have had in previous years so now the fundraising begins in earnest. The first event will be held in the Swan Inn on March 19, at 7.30pm, when Mary Rhodes, a BBC presenter and journalist, will discuss her experiences behind the scenes at the BBC. Mary is a local girl brought up in Weobley and has kindly donated her time to support Letton Church. Tickets at £7.50 each include a hot supper. Phone 01544 327268 to book. All are welcome.
