“A very happy 80th BIRTHDAY to JUNE NUNN formally Baxter. I was reminded of June this Saturday morning when I went to Coffee Club. The Churchyard is a mass of colour. Most of those flowers were set by June who lived in the old bungalow where Greenways now stands. June went to Swarby School and was Renee and Jack’s daughter. We send our love and wish her happiness xx” from Nancy Warnes

A big thank you goes to David Pepper for beautifully restoring the churchyard gate after one of the Churchwardens (who shall remain nameless!) had a minor accident with the ride-on mower!

Introducing the Swarby 50:50 club
The 50:50 club is a monthly lottery in which 50% of the monthly income goes to prizewinners and the remainder goes to supporting the maintenance of Swarby Church and ministry within the parish.

It costs only £1 per number per month for the remaining 5 months in 2026, £5 in total.
The first draw will take place at the Swarby Gala on 8th August at 4 pm, and thereafter at the Swarby Coffee mornings on the first Saturday of the month.

1st, 2nd and 3rd cash prizes will be awarded comprising 25%, 15% and 10% of the income for each month rounded to the nearest pound. Members can buy as many numbers as they wish. The more numbers bought, the bigger the prize fund and the more we raise to support the church.
It is open to friends of Swarby Church over the age of 16 with a UK bank account.

First, complete the 50:50 club online application form here https://tinyurl.com/Swarby5050Club, or email [email protected] giving

Your contribution will ensure the church remains an important part of village life.
