Whittington church which was an outstanding success. It was lovely to hear the organ being played in such a variety of styles. The organists who played between 10am & 6pm for about an hour each were Rev David Kightley, Ian Smith, Amy Mack, Dr Ian Mack, Christian & Bob Howes, Cate Markwell, and Chris Young; people could come and go all day as they wished just to enjoy the music with some lovely refreshments. We raised a tremendous £500.00 for the restoration fund, for which we are very grateful.
A very big thank you to all the organists who played magnificently all day, also we must thank everyone who came and supported the event and anyone who donated refreshments or helped in any way.
Thank you from the Whittington Events Committee.

Editorial
Unfortunately I received a complaint about the cover story in September's Village Life.
A young man called Harry Cater, (aged 3, of St. Andrew's Close) complained that the picture we used to illustrate the "Wey-hey, we're the Monkeys" story was in fact NOT a monkey (his mother also queried the accuracy of it's anatomy?).
So, Harry, just to keep the peace with you (and yer Mom), here's a selection of other pictures from my PC and you can choose which is a monkey!

P.S. Apologies for the late arrival of Village Life - must get rid of that day job!
