Have a break for a coffee and biscuits (very important) at 10.30 am in the Lodge. And enjoy a sociable time. The Arboretum is a lovely area to work in, we do a bit of mowing, pruning, tree and shrub planting, bracken and nettle control.

So thank you again to all who showed up on that day it is very much appreciated by the Parish Councillors and Mundford residents.
We meet approximately every 6 weeks so if you have an hour or so to spare and would like to join our team please contact the clerk.

St Leonard’s Church has an oil fired boiler which is in a poor condition and needs to be replaced this year. It is the sole source of heat in the building and its replacement is vital if we are to maintain a warm welcome for regular worshippers and visitors alike. This will result in a significant challenge to church finances in 2016, So we would be very grateful for any financial assistance.
If you are able to hep, please send your donation to the church treasurer; Peter Dennis, 2 Swaffham Road, Mundford, Thetford, IP26 5EH, tel. 01842 878562 or email. Cheques should be made payable to Mundford PCC.
Very many thanks to you all.
