Churches Together in Godalming and outlying areas including Elstead are running various groups during Lent. The groups will be studying the 2007 York Course 'Can we build a better world' [available from Nathan's in Queen  Street].

If any of you would like to join us at The Old Farmhouse  8 pm each  Monday in Lent beginning Monday 26^th Feb, do ring me. You will be most welcome .  [ don't feel you have to go to all evenings]

We are pleased to welcome Mrs Anne Thomas as a co-opted Parish Councillor to fill the vacancy until the next election.

Elections for the Parish Council will take place on May 3 this year. Why not consider being an elected councillor and join the decision making team in Elstead ? A local councillor must be aged 21 or over and a British or EU citizen. You must also be an elector of the parish or during the 12 months prior to nomination have been an occupier of land as owner or tenant in the parish, or for the same period have resided in the parish or within 3 miles of it ; or for the same period have had your principal place of work in the parish. Its a good idea to attend a Parish Council to see how we work. The remaining meetings are on 19 March and 23 April. The Annual Parish Meeting is on 18 April. All our meetings are in the URC Hall Milford Rd.

If you are interested please contact Chris Newman the Parish Clerk on 01252 811624
or myself on 01252 702285.

Elstead SPRING CLEAN DAY  will be on Saturday 31st March this year. Please come along at 10,00 am to the Village Green and join in our clean up of the whole village. Litter picking tools will be provided. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Churches Together in Elstead have organised a series of three repeated events this Lent (as well as the weekly Lent Lunches on Fridays).  We are offering each event on a morning and on an evening, to make it possible for more people to attend.

All the Events will take place at the United Reformed Church, Milford Road, Elstead, and all events are open to anyone - just come along !
