PLANS are in hand for the Spring Bank Holiday flower festival at St James, Staunton, from Friday to Monday, May 26-29, in aid of church funds. The festival will begin with a preview of paintings by local artists and during the weekend, a number of interesting gardens will be open to the public. There will also be stalls and refreshments. Several fundraising events will be held prior to the festival.

The Get Together coffee morning in the lounge at Johnstone Close for February was extremely well attended, with a wide range of goods on the bring and buy stall and good raffle prizes, which are kindly donated. Proceeds are for Staunton Church.
