Parish Social Life
The parish has many social/fund-raising events, involving as many members of the congregation as possible:
- a Men’s Group which meets monthly;
- a Wives’ Group which meets monthly;
- coffee and biscuits in the church hall after the morning service every Sunday;
- lunches on many special occasions, including a frugal lunch in Lent;
- occasional lunchtime barbecues between late spring and early autumn;
- occasional fish and chip suppers on Saturday evening;
- an annual quiz night;
- ‘Jazz in the Vicarage Garden’, an annual event attended by many citizens of the town who are not members of the congregation;
- May Revels in the garden of nearby Island Hall;
- annual plant sale in the forecourt of Island Hall to coincide with the National Garden Scheme.
