Eastington Christmas Tree Festival 2019
We are delighted to announce that the church will be hosting its 3rd Christmas Tree Festival between Friday 6th December 2019 and Sunday 8th December 2019!
Everyone is invited to take part including families, community groups and local businesses. Christmas trees may be real or artificial, with or without lights, and any size up to 2 metres.
We invite contributors to name and decorate their trees on a theme. This could be a Christmas carol or a theme relevant to your family, group or organisation. Visitors will be able to vote for their favourite Christmas tree, with prizes awarded to the most popular Christmas trees.

If you would like to get involved as a contributor and/or a volunteer, please contact Chris Amys on 01453 821656 or 07867 482586 or at chris.amys@hotmail.com.

 

Summer BBQ

In July, Celia and Robin Harris kindly hosted a Summer BBQ at their house in Nupend. It was a lovely afternoon (even the sun made an appearance) and raised £130 for church funds.

 

Success for Eastington Bell Ringers

In June, the Stroud Branch of Church Bell Ringers held its annual Striking Competition, which this year was held at Frampton Church.

A total of 8 teams participated with Rachel Bagley aged 13 from Tewkesbury being Chief Judge (supported by her parents Roger and Ruth Bagley).

In a pleasant surprise following an enjoyable afternoon of ringing, followed by food, drink and skittles at The Anchor in Epney, Rachel announced that the joint team of Eastington and Horsley were the winners! As a result, Eastington will be in possession of the Tom Price Memorial Trophy for the next 6 months. Pictured opposite are Eastington Bell Ringers Chris Amys and Pam May together with Horsley Bell Ringer Stan Burrage.

If you are interested in finding out more about Church Bell Ringing, come along to one of our practice nights at Eastington Church, Mondays between 7.30pm-9pm, where you will receive an extremely warm welcome from our friendly team of ringers.
