Aller Bush Telegraph goes digital

The Aller Bush Telegraph has for a number of years provided a great way to pass information around the village, thanks to the efforts of Catherine Saber and her team of volunteers. We're trying to make it even better and more efficient, while imposing less on the generosity and time of those volunteers.
Many of you already receive ABT news by email. We are about to start using an email newsletter that will replace paper communications. Obviously, not everyone has email, so copies will be posted on the various village notice boards and we hope that neighbours will ensure that any vulnerable people without email will hear important news by word of mouth.
We will be using the same system that the Parish Council used for flood information, and that means, if you are not presently on the list, we need your email address and at least a post code. It won't be passed on to anyone else and will only be used for village communications. At present we estimate we have about half of the properties in the village covered. Please fill in the form below, as soon as possible, and encourage your friends and neighbours to do likewise, so we can add you to the list and you don't miss out on important village information.

Harvest Festival on 25th September

Please join us at St. Andrew's at 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, September 25 for our Harvest Songs of Praise Service. This will be a different format than in previous years. Dave Mayor will lead the festivities, along with Molly Cullen and the Allerlooyas to encourage the Village sing.

We are hoping to have an auction and refreshments after the service, and welcome your contributions. Marrows are a great tradition in Aller, but we are hoping that people will donate examples of the many other sorts of "crops" that we grow here. What does your garden (orchard, kitchen, workshop...) grow? Honey? Eggs? Cider? Hand-crafted items? Would you be willing to donate a sample for sale at the Harvest auction?

This year also differs in having a major gap between Harvest Festival and the Harvest Supper, which will be just under a month later, on October 22. Details of all events will be sent via our village delivery services -- or you can check the church page here on the DragonFlyer site or check the church website (http://www.standrewaller.org.uk/)
