LOOKING FORWARD TO JULY 2011...

Ready for a new experience? How would you like to host one or two Hungarian students during their visit to Shefford? Their daily programme is organised and they will be out with others most of each day. You would be responsible for overnight accommodation and some evening meals. You would be most welcome to take part in as much of their programme as you wish. Why Shefford? This is a long-cherished dream of Ingeborg Eiban, who once lived in Shefford and has always wanted to bring her English students back to visit. This class is small (8 students and 2 teachers) and their programme will introduce them to village life and culture, with the occasional visit to a larger city. Dates: Saturday 2nd July (evening) to Monday 11th July (morning). For more information contact John and Judy Robinson 01462 811500.

Sat/Sun October 1 & 2

THE TRAVELLING BAND musical première weekend: 4pm on both days. If you enjoyed TREEMENDOUS! you'll certainly love this! And the weekend is now going to be even more special/poignant as it will be John & Sandra's last weekend with us. Let's make it an event to remember! In the meantime we're collecting stuff from around the world to decorate the church - please let Jenny Dann (01462 817337) know if you have anything - clothing, accessories, ornaments, furnishings, musical instruments, knick-knacks - anything that conveys a different country or continent. Ocean-themed items also needed.
