We’ve got a great weekend of entertainment to suit everyone lined up for you over the late August bank holiday. For the first time Bishopswood and Walford village halls are collaborating to bring a full programme of events.

On Sunday 28th August All Saints Church Bishopswood are holding their special ‘Summer Pimms, Hymns and Berry Hill Brass Band” Service. It’s always a great joy to sing popular hymns along with the Brass Band! The service will be followed by Pimms with Strawberries and Cream at just £3 per person.

On Monday 29th August Walford village hall are holding a fun day for all the family from 11:00am until 4:00pm. There will be plenty to keep you entertained including face painting, live music, dog show, raffles & prizes, games, food, ice cream, arts & crafts, and much much more.

The entertainment continues on Monday afternoon and evening with the Annual Duck race at Bishopswood Village Hall at 5:00pm, followed by a Hog Roast, bar and Ceilidh with the fabulous ‘Life of Riley’. Tickets are £8 per person (£4 under 12s), Vegetarian, Vegan and gluten free options will be available. Duck and Tickets will be on sale at the Walford Village Hall Family Fun day.

Hog roast & Ceilidh tickets are now on sale 01600891277

Bishopswood Village Hall has a new regular class, the Goodrich Village Art Club.

This is a very friendly and informal painting and drawing group guided by a professional artist. People are free to choose whatever subject they like and in whatever medium. All levels of ability are welcome except complete beginners. For more information contact Julie on 07852102009.

The next term starts on 13th September and runs for 12 weeks with a break for half term. There is a small fee payable which is set each term depending on the number of members. The group is non profit making but needs to cover the cost of the hall hire and fees. There are about 20 members at the moment.

I moved here from Sussex last year and whilst I am continuing to offer Mindfulness on zoom to past participants, I am now looking forward to meeting individuals in this community, and to share my experiences and understandings.

I trained with Bangor University and Sussex Mindfulness Centre learning the most well-known courses…Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, which are based on ancient traditions and neuroscience.

I started my meditation practice in 2006, and bring mindfulness into living as best I can.

Do you have questions about what it is, what it is not, what Mindfulness offers?
Would you like to experience some short meditation practices?
in sitting, in stillness and then with some gentle movements or maybe walking.
(whatever we do, you have a choice to join in or not)

Or maybe you already have some experience:
Are you looking for a place to continue or return to practice?
or are you a seasoned practitioner who wants to meet fellow travellers?

Please come along to one, or both of these two free taster sessions at Bishopswood Village Hall

Tuesday 9 August  2022  .  11.00 – 12.00

Tuesday 16 August 2022    14.30 – 15.30

As an introduction to me as a facilitator, an opportunity to be guided in a few short practices, these short workshops will be informal and will allow you to decide whether you would like to participate in future classes.

And if these times are not convenient for you, please get in touch to express your interest.
I am keen to learn what your views are, and what works for you.

It would be really helpful, If you could let me know of your intention to come, please do so by calling 07399620833, or texting on this number or e-mailing   rosemarie@metame.co.uk

But if on the day, you decide you want to come, feel free to pitch up.

Mindfulness receives quite a lot of media coverage.

There are many myths, high expectations as well as negative results reported which lead to misconceptions, misunderstandings
