Kendal Big Band

 On Thursday 17th November at the Village Hall St. Mark’s Church will be hosting an evening with the Kendal Big Band. It starts at 7.45 and the doors open at 7.15.

Jigsaws in Church

 The evenings are drawing in, and cheerful pictures requiring careful study and assembling are becoming a priority. So, jigsaws are for sale again on the table at the back of church, raising funds for the North West Air Ambulance. Do come along, choose your favourite, and donate towards the work of this charity.

A Point Of View on the Home Field development.

 I hope that the planners are proud of themselves now that the Home Field is being ripped apart. This beautiful field –  bought in 1885 with the pennies of children of Carlisle diocese as a playing field for the boys’ home – is being destroyed in the name of ‘development’. In selling the field the Children’s Society shares responsibility for this vandalism. John Inglesfield, Natland

A Lower Speed Limit for Natland?

 A close perusal of the correspondence between the Parish Council, Tim Farron and the County Council reveals ……. probably not.
