Yesterday, I was fortunate to attend two events that demonstrate the real meaning of people working together for the greater good.

The first; a chance for people from church to socialise and as a thank you for the Superb 100 Christmas Tree Festival held at St Saviours church. This event is enjoyed by many but wouldn’t be possible without all the people working behind the scenes for the week, providing all the technical support and catering to name but a few. I had my own tree in memory of my mother, just outside the lady chapel (healing chapel) which she would have loved.

The second; the brilliant pub quiz in aid of The Redbourn Care Group. At a time when there are so many national and global charities needing funds it is good to see so many people turning up to help raise funds for a small local charity. My team didn’t win but we did have fun..it’s the taking part that counts and that goes for being community spirited and thinking public! Thanks to The Cricketers pub for holding this event.
