We'd like to welcome you to our beautiful church, to join with us in worship and in our various social activities.
If you wish to make arrangements for a
baptism or you plan to get
married here, please
contact the Vicar, by telephone or by email.
Arrangements for Funerals are usually dealt with by the funeral director and he or she will contact the parish clergy on your behalf. People who live in the parish or whose name appears on the Electoral Roll have the right to be buried in the churchyard.
Race Night
Origninally intended to be the highlight of Friday 24th February 2012,
our family-friendly RACE NIGHT has (sadly) been postponed to a date in May.
But do not despair! Then the
days will be longer, the nights lighter, and in the seasonal warmth the enjoyment
will be even greater!
Watch this space!

BURNS SUPPER
On Friday 27th. January 2012 we held our annual Burns Supper.
In spite of a fierce throat infection, our doughty Laird presided at the feast
and gave the traditional Ode to the Haggis. It was a sumptuous feast featuring
bashed neaps and tatties, and we did indeed experience some (almost)
Scottish dancing! Hilarious! And thanks to the generosity of all concerned,
the event raised over £450 to help support our restoration and renovation programme.
