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!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Sarah and our team of volunteers who deliver the Chronicles to every household in the 3 villages.
Volunteering in villages like Fenny Compton, Avon Dassett, and Farnborough is what keeps them alive.
So we extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of them!
If you want to get involved with the Chronicle, please do get in touch!
