Attention all you with babies and toddlers!

There is another baby/toddler clothes swap on Thursday from 2-2.45am in St Peter’s Church. There are so many lovely, good quality clothes waiting for you – many hardly worn, and all being given away free. Last time people were very polite and only went away with a couple of items each. This time we invite you to bring your carrier bags or bin bags and FILL them with items that you think you could make use of! If you have clothes to bring down, please do so, that would be great.

Thornton Village Quiz night

Thank you to everyone who attended the latest village quiz at the Community Centre last Saturday night.

Although the numbers were a little lower than usual because of the half term holidays, a fun night was had by all and a total of £330 was raised.

£80 was donated to the Community Centre towards the ongoing programme of major works in progress, and £250 was donated to the Friends of St Peter’s towards the upkeep and maintenance of the church.

A new winning team this time with a group of 4 local residents scoring a magnificent 99 out of 100 questions.

There will be another quiz night hopefully early in the new year.
