A great Quiz night was held at Prees Village Hall last night. Competitors worked together in teams, answering a range of questions from ‘the nature’ round to ‘the colour green’. The picture round kept people chatting and focussed whilst enjoying their casserole and cake supper. Thanks to Bill (question master) and to all involved in supper preparation. The overall winners were team ‘Prees Parish’! A great social evening for St Chad’s Church. Thanks for your attendance!

A notice for Edstaston!

Alan is looking for helpers on Wednesday 1st April at 11.00am to clean St Mary the Virgin, Church, Edstaston, so that the church looks 👌 for the Maunday Thursday Service the following evening.

Please let him know if you can help on 07791 212196 or 01939 234790 or by text and he can tell you what would be helpful to bring. It usually takes him and the cleaner 2 hours but, obviously, if there are more than two people it will take less time.
