It was service with a smile from the young waitresses at St Giles’ Hall on 21^st April, when the Junior Church provided a variety of cakes and refreshments for parents and friends at Afternoon Tea.  Everyone tucked in, happy to be raising funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital. 

There was also a chance to view the range of crafts created by the children during Lent.  It looks like the children are getting in some practice for Holiday Club!

 

Join your friends at Holiday Club!

Chris has been repairing roofs in Ickenham, Ruislip and the surrounding areas for 35 years, and his business, CJ Sheen of Ruislip, has been a long term advertiser in ICN.  Chris is now retiring and wants to pass on his thanks to any readers for their custom over the years.  The business will continue as Manor Roofing, in the capable hands of Adam Smith, who has worked for Chris for the last ten years.  Manor Roofing will honour any outstanding guarantees.

We wish Adam good luck in his new business venture, and wish Chris the happiest of times in his retirement.

Receipt is acknowledged, with grateful thanks, for a donation towards the cost of ICN, from:

Ickenham Village Morning Townswomen’s Guild

Please remember there is no August edition of ICN, so details of any August events will need to be with us in time for the next edition, distributed around Ickenham at the start of July. 

Copy for this combined July/August edition should be with the team by 12 noon on 13^th June.

There are plenty of opportunities this month to get into the swing of summer.  Why not show your support for these events at the local schools?
