From Focus, the parish magazine for St. John’s Church, Boreham, and St. Aldhelm’s Church, Bishopstrow, March 1994:
January 30th [1994] saw the first birthday of the Mothers’ Union at St. John’s. It seems amazing that we have been going only a year – we seem to have packed so much into the time!
Along with our birthday celebrations, we were able to enrol three new members – Daphne Slow, Frances Riddle, and Gwen Evans, and to welcome Eileen Bull, who has recently retired to Warminster with her husband, the Reverend George Bull.
Included in our plans for 1994 is a cake stall to be held in the Parish Hall after the Mothering Sunday service on 13th March – so why not place your order in advance (ring 213000) for plain or chocolate sponge cakes; fruit cakes; or small iced cakes; and spend Mothering Sunday afternoon with your feet up, knowing that tea is already organised!
The highlight of 1994, The International Year of the Family, will be the Family Day at Wilton House on 9th July. This will be a wonderful opportunity for all the family to enjoy the delights of Wilton House and Gardens at a reduced rate. Tickets will be available after Easter.
