Members enjoyed seasonal readings, popular carols and solos from flautist Nicola Gerrard whose beautiful playing was very well received, followed by refreshments in the Village Hall.

Many thanks to all those involved, particularly our President, Lord Grey, who again invited us to use his Family Chapel; Rev. Philip Robinson, who stepped in at the last minute to lead the service when Rev. John Whitehead was sadly unwell on the day (our best wishes for a speedy recovery!); also to our musicians, the ladies of High Legh Village Hall whose cakes and refreshments were up to their usual high standards; our Chairman, Andrew Needham, for his seasonal address and update on relevant local CPRE issues, and lastly to our Branch Secretary Debbie Janney who organised everything behind the scenes!
