Cranmer Group Services for November
Fresh veggies and fruit. All you can grow and eat. Have we got your taste buds stimulated? Now's the time to grab an allotment before it goes. If you are a first timer you will find plenty of hints and tips available from
friendly, experienced growers. The Orston Allotments are right next to the Orston and Aslockton playing fields, lovely spot looking out onto open fields - you can see Belvoir Castle in the distance. More details from Tony Churcher 01949 850010.

Orston Village Choir Sings for Remembrance
We were all so very proud to be invited to sing at the Service of Remembrance for the 156 Parachute Battalion to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Arnhem on Saturday October 12th. The location was the very beautiful St Mary’s Church at Melton Mowbray. The service was led by Chaplain Brian McAvery MRI.
The service was both emotional and poignant and we all sang from the heart. The songs were chosen by Astrid, Cliff and Ian - a selection from the most popular songs from the War
years, when music served as a defiant hope for liberation and freedom.
The Service is available to view on YouTube – search for ‘156 Parachute regiment Melton’
Our thanks go to Astrid, Cliff and Ian for all the careful preparation and guidance they gave us during rehearsals.

Orston Parish Council - Good Neighbour Scheme
Please keep this to hand in case of need. This is a list of volunteers to help people in minor emergencies - ie. To help with a bit of shopping when indisposed, unable to leave home etc. The Parish Council is very grateful to them all for their generosity of spirit. No one is available all of the time, hence the need for a number of volunteers. If you are willing to be one of this number to join this scheme (as none of us are available all the time) please contact Gerry McMahon by email: [email protected]

IT IS NOW
A full house saw the ‘Anonymous is a Woman’ theatre company present their comedy drama about a wedding held on the day of the 1966 world cup final. A really enjoyable, entertaining experience, which brought lots of laughs and more than a little nostalgia to Orston that night. Many thanks go to both the actors and the Village Hall committee for their hard work, and to the audience for enthusiastically joining in, all of which made it a very memorable event.
Orston Christmas Pageant 2019
6.15pm Christmas Eve, Orston Village Hall The first Orston Pageant was on Christmas Eve 1965, and is now into its 6th decade. Over that time it has attracted thousands of visitors to the village who participate in our celebrations and join in the carol service that follows. Everyone is invited to partake as cast members, choristers and audience, and whatever the weather, the show goes on. If you want an excuse to dress up then please join in. You can come along as an angel (no age limit), shepherd, villager or soldier…..its up to you. Any questions ring Nick Hammond on 07931758441 or email [email protected]
