Thought for the month: Love is a Verb not a Noun

We are now fully into organising our annual
Martinborough Mid-Winter Monster Book Fair

It’s still not too late for you to sort out books for this – our hall in Weld Street will be open on Wednesdays from 10am if you want to drop off books there , also jigsaw puzzles and D.V.D.’s, or they can be left at the library or P&K’s, or leave word there or at the BNZ to arrange a pick up.

Be part of this event – a very worthy recycling of recreational, inspirational and educational reading!
Tickets are now on sale for the special Friday evening opening at 7pm, with Guest Speaker the entertaining local author of “Moon over Martinborough” Jared Gulian, and supper and preferential book sales – all for $15. Tickets at P&K office or any First Church member.
