The Bridge Magazine
The team at The Bridge Magazine are looking to update their website. They'd love to hear from anyone who might be willing and able to help them with this. Please either have a word with Cathy Brook (Busbridge Classic service) or email her at: editor@thebridgeonline.org.uk.
They'd also like to hear from anyone in Busbridge or Bargate Wood who's intending to take part in the Big Garden Birdwatch over 27th - 29th January. Perhaps anyone doing so would be kind enough to copy their recordings to Cathy at the email address above?
A message from Guildford Besom...
Guildford Besom wishes to extend a huge thank all those at Busbridge Church for the lovely hampers that were given at Christmas time to so many homes. They were so appreciated and were just a wonderful present to give to people who have all been struggling so much in different ways. Thank you so much again - you have been a real blessing! The Guildford Besom Team.
