Come and enjoy the spring gardens and discover what is in flower. The tulips should be spectacular (so long as we don’t have a heat wave between now and then!) The church tea team will have been busy baking a selection of delectable cakes so come on up to the church after you have enjoyed the garden for a relaxing cup of tea and slice of cake
Apuldram Parish Meeting and Dell Quay Sailing Club are once again getting together, this time to mark the historic 80thanniversary of VE Day. Communities are encouraged by the Pageantmaster to be part of this anniversary, providing a day of joy, reflection, and celebration, reaffirming our commitment to world peace, ensuring future generations understand and cherish its value. At 9.30pm over one thousand beacons and hundreds of Lamp Lights of Peace will shine throughout the United Kingdom, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, with the flames from them both representing the ‘light of peace’ that emerged from the dreadful darkness of war.
