A March hare and a March magazine

The March parish magazine is out now and you can download it below.

The last day of the month is Easter Sunday so the magazine contains all our Lent, Holy Week and Easter details, as well as information on other events such as the Farnham Poetry Competition Awards Evening (March 9th), Mothering Sunday (10th), the Easter Craft Market (16th), a collection for refugees (22nd), Unseen Artists (23rd-24th) and many more.

The Badshot Leader takes up the middle six pages with information about the village past and present, including what’s on and planning issues, plus a piece on ‘Badshot Lea’s forgotten hero, William Crumplin.

Elsewhere, there’s a report on Lesley and Alan’s farewell and a thank-you from them; thoughts from Lesley Shatwell, who has just retired; prayer; pictures of events which took place in the parish last month and lots more.

Happy reading and happy Easter!

Your March magazine is here

The March parish magazine is here filled with plenty of news about the parish, including the Lent groups, the Seekers service, an encouragement to ‘Pray for 5’, the Literary Festival, groups and events, and the new Badshot Leader. The Badshot Leader was first produced 46 years ago and has been relaunched by the Badshot Lea Community Association in conjunction with the parish. It will appear in the magazine every two months and it can also be received directly from the Association – see page 19 of the magazine.

There are lots of advertisers too – please use them and tell them that you saw them in the magazine.

Enjoy!
