They are happy to pick-up any donations if required, and they would also be grateful for any financial donations you care to make. Please contact Kerri Davies at 07597582546, or www.newmarketopendoor.org.uk if you have any questions.

They will be £75/78 depending on the coach fee which normally increases annually Janet Ramsay-helie

BENEFICE REARRANGEMENT You will be aware that for approximately two years plans have been worked on for local benefice rearrangements to move the parish of St Agnes from a benefice associated with St Marys Newmarket to the single parish benefice of Exning with Landwade, thus making us a benefice containing two parishes. Finally draft proposals for this to occur have been received from the Church Commissioners. The Notice with respect to this change is given below. In practical terms this will make little difference to us; so please do not panic about the change! John Pascall
