Avon Dassett Christmas Gathering
The Avon Dassett Christmas Gathering will take place at St John The Baptist Church on Sunday 14th December at 5 o’clock.
This year drinks will be in the church first as will Father Christmas and his sack!
A few mince pies would again be gratefully received.
At the end we will hope to collect a tidy sum towards the church lighting fund – next year could be better illuminated!
