A concert on 26th June in aid of Help for Heroes and St Peter's Church, Shipton Bellinger (50% split). The band played a wide range of numbers, in good weather, and those present had a wonderful evening.

Saturday 9th February at 11am. Thsi takes around 1 1/2 hours to two hours, taking in views over the plain as well as through the largest wild Junipers outcrop in the south. Previous walks have seen buzzards, lapwings, lots of lichen and hares as well as the more common wildlife.

1,000 tickets only for this draw were available. Prizes range from a CD player to luxury hampers, to garden packs to a trailer of horse manure! The draw will take place at a Cheese and Wine Party in the Village Centre on Saturday, 8th April. The event raised around £946 for church funds.
On Friday 7th April the APCM took place. The Electoral roll now has 70 on it (up from 58 last year and 50 the year before) but forms can be obtained from the church to join at any time. At 7.30pm the open Vestry Meeting to elect two Churchwardens (the prerogative of the whole parish) elected Gordon measures and John Whitney. < After this is the APCM at which those on the Electoral Roll are entitles to vote.
The Winter Welly Walk on the 18th February 2006 had great weather and was very well attended. We tromped on a 4.5-5 mile circular route along the headland, the tracks, up to Beacon Hill and back round the paths to footpath 17 and 19. In muddy conditions the 2 hours was just about right to really appreciate the home-made soup and rolls laid on at the end!
