Banks are changing to more rapid clearing of cheques and as a result are now very strict about the payee. Cheques incorrectly made out or with any alteration (initialled or not) are being returned. The account name is ‘Rothbury PCC-CG’.
‘PCC-CG’ (even with ‘Rothbury’ added above),’ Rothbury PCC’ or ‘Rothbury PCC-CG Roof’ are all unacceptable.
ALNWICK FOODBANK We are continuing to collect items of food and toiletries to distribute to those in need in our area. As the school summer holidays begin and families do not have access to free school meals, this is an especially important resource for those who are struggling. We are advised that they expect to run light on tinned fruit and vegetables, including tinned potatoes. And they will probably run short of tinned meat and fish as well. Please put tins into the bin in the rest room and more easily damaged goods like biscuits and pasta into the box in the Baptistry. The next delivery to the depot will be on 25 July, and thereafter at fortnightly intervals. Thank you so very much for your contributions.
We are planning to hold a confirmation service in All Saints at 10.15am on Sunday 8 December. Please speak to one of the clergy if you are interested in preparation for yourself or someone you know.
