3/4 SEPTEMBER 2016
“SVP – September is once again SVP Awareness Month and the theme this time is: “WHO CARES? – well, the SVP in this parish certainly tries hard to care. In the financial year of 2015/16, we carried out in the East Grinstead area 372 visits to elderly people in their own homes, nursing homes, and hospitals; and gave 136 lifts to Mass, the Parish Lunch Club, Anointing Masses, and shopping trips. If this is something you could do, please contact me, Peter Wells, on 0785 193 8727.
DEAR FRIENDS – I have entered the East Grinstead 10k Run on Sunday September 24th. I am looking (pleading) for sponsors to support me and raise money for Prostate Cancer UK, a cause close to me and to the organisers of the race. The race is in memory of Andy Ripley, who was a local sports superstar (google him) who died young from cancer and whose family started the event.
The run starts at 10am and on the application form I had to estimate how long I would take: I wrote “I hope to be home for tea”. I will accept donations in any format, but you may find it easiest at:

Thanks in advance for any support you can offer, be it financial, moral or physical!
