Creativitea is an opportunity for villagers to get together for tea, cake, chat and crafting. We meet monthly on the third Thursday between 2pm and 4pm. Usually our venue is the Barker Room, but whilst this is being repaired, we are meeting in the Community Room at The Orchard, and we are very grateful to the residents who have welcomed us there.Creativitea is proud to support Charlton's Christmas Tree Festival, with our own Creativitree! This will be Charlton's first Festival, from 6-10 December. Join us on 21 November 2-4pm at The Orchard to make decorations for our tree, kindly arranged by Stephanie Elcock. The more the merrier!
St Andrew's was full to capacity on 28 October for the Licensing of Maggie Metcalfe as Associate Priest in the Chalke Valley Benefice.The evening began with a procession of priests, followed by the collected churchwardens ahead of Bishop Andrew. He led a lively service in which the singing was so loud that at times one could not hear the organ! Maggie was welcomed by priests and laiety alike, and Bishop Andrew gave the address on the River of Life.All were welcomed afterwards for wine and nibbles at the Radnor Hall and a chance to congratulate Maggie on her new role. It was a lovely evening and we are lucky to have Maggie join us.
