Christmas Light Switch On Ringing

Tonight with the christmas lights switch on our tower captain Trevor decided it would be a good Idea to open the church for people to see how the bells ring for service and a chance to see inside our beautiful church.

It was very successful with a good number of visitors. We had wine and mince pies. Everyone seemed  delighted to have the opportunity  to view inside the church and an chance to have ago to ring the bells.

Stafford Raspberry Jam

Hello there! My name is Cerys Lock and I run a computing event in Stafford, called a Raspberry Jam. A Raspberry Jam is based around a computer which is the size of a credit card, called the Raspberry Pi.

On the second Tuesday of each month (except August) the Raspberry Jam is held for people who have an interest in digital making or people who want to know more about the Raspberry Pi and various other boards such as Arduino. 

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please come along to the event. We have an eventbrite page which you can use to book free tickets.

Our next meetup is on the 10th December (next Tuesday). Here is the link to book tickets:
