“This year, our church competition celebrates churches across the UK through photography. However, it is far from a photography competition!

We’ll be asking every church to send us a single photo showing what makes their church special, whether taken by a professional or a member of the congregation on a smartphone.

We know that every church, its congregation, and community is unique. From the volunteer who holds everything together, to the children’s groups who brighten up the Sunday services. From the beautiful flower gardens, to the exceptional architecture of your church building. No two churches are the same, and we want to celebrate what makes your church special.”

GROSMONT GARDENS

What a great day it was on Sunday in Grosmont.
Well over 100 people visited our gardens and were full of praise, not just about the gardens, but also how welcoming everyone was.
Huge thanks to the people who opened their gardens and for the weeks of hard work.  
Thanks also to Jan and Alison for serving “shed loads of tea and cakes”.  Also to all of those who make cakes and scones, those who “garden sat”; Lucy for the much admired posters and anyone else who helped in any way.
Thanks!
Jean

Council warn over Council Tax refund scam

Monmouthshire County Council is urging residents to remain vigilant after receiving reports of unsolicited emails offering Council Tax refunds. The message reportedly tells householders they have an outstanding refund and encourages them to click on a link.

Monmouthshire’s Revenues team advise it’s not official council correspondence and residents should exercise caution before providing any details to a third party.  The Council recently had to issue similar warnings when residents described receiving phone calls advising them they were entitled to a rebate on their council tax bill.

Thank you for reading and may you all stay cyber safe.
