MARKET - Much Birch Village Market takes place tomorrow (Friday) in Much Birch Community Hall, just off the A49, between 2.30pm and 4.30pm. Hopefully all the usual local suppliers will be there with meats, cheeses, preserves, chocolates and delicious filled pancakes. There are a few crafts, an aloe vera stall and a Fair Trade stall.

Much Birch WI has a book stall, the proceeds of which go their charities of the year. Dan, who is a popular addition, sharpens garden tools, knives etc and is bringing some mistletoe this month.

Refreshments, take home cakes and eggs are sold in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.

All these details are correct at the time of writing but the presence of stall holders on the day is not guaranteed.

For further details please contact Kath on 01981 540382.
