The Club is open to anyone outside St. Saviours Church over 16 years of age and any number of tickets may be purchased by either one person or for friends and family - your support is needed please.
A card machine will be operating after Sunday services at St. Saviours from the 15th January for those persons preferring this method of payment. I am willing to collect any money from persons unable to get to Church. For more information please contact me 864787, thanking you all, Jan Hookey. I would also like to record grateful thanks to Ian for his help with the lists and Sarah McCarthy-Fry, as Treasurer

St Saviour’s “Raising the Roof” Appeal

St Saviour’s have launched their fundraising campaign to repair the church hall roof which collapsed last year. While there is a temporary cover in place, unfortunately the hall cannot be used until there is a permanent repair.

The cost of bringing the hall back into use is around £50,000. We have received a small amount of grant funding, but there is still a long way to go, so any donation, however small, will be gratefully received.

You can donate online at www.shepherdandsaviour/st-saviours or by cash in the collecting box at St Saviour’s, or by cheque made payable to “PCC St Saviour’s Shanklin” sent to “The Treasurer, Woodside, Upper Hyde Farm Lane, Shanklin, PO37 7PS
