Short break at Sarum College, Salisbury
I have recently spent a weekend here and I noticed they have a variety of day courses exploring faith at a cost of about £60. The courses include ‘stained glass’ where you follow the journey of a stained glass window from inspiration and design through its different processes to installation and ‘Faith in fiction’ that explores the work of various novelists. Full details of the many different courses can be found on http://www.sarum.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2018-19-Course-and-Events-Brochure.pdf?x52922 The idea would be to drive down together (car sharing), spend a night or two in the college (a unique experience in the Cathedral Close), enjoy Choral Evensong at the cathedral and other attractions the city and the surrounding area has to offer. If you are intersted please me know Rosemary 344417.

Will Aid 2018
Have your Will professionally written by a good solicitor and you’ll have the added feel-good factor of supporting nine leading UK charities too. Instead of paying a fee, the solicitor will invite you to make a donation to charity. Suggested voluntary donations are £95 for a basic Will, or £150 for a pair of basic mirror Wills. Your donation will be shared between the nine Will Aid charities and will be used to help vulnerable people in the UK and around the world. As some solicitors can get oversubscribed, you are advised to contact a participating solicitor as soon as possible to book your Will Aid appointment for November. Please log on to www.willaid.org.uk/ to find your nearest available Will Aid solicitor. If you do not have access to the internet then the nearest Will Aid solicitor to St. Dunstan’s Church is Blackstone Legal, The Old Courthouse, 2nd Floor Hughenden Road, High Wycombe, HP13 5DT. Telephone: 01494 443 204 and ask for Ms. Sabrina Maini
