Rhian, our local quiz master, is putting on a quiz night at the Chester Green Community Centre this evening (Saturday 29th November). £2 entry, and doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. As always, a cheap bar is on and there are prizes for the winning team. Always a great night….why not come along?
A Christmas Carol Service will be held at Chester Green Seventh-day Adventist Church 220 Mansfield Rd., Derby DE1 3RB.
It will be held on Friday 19th December, 6.30-8pm followed by refreshments – everyone warmly welcome.
The annual Autumn Craft Fair will be held on Sunday 16 November from 11am to 4pm in Darley Abbey Village Hall, Abbey Yard, off New Road, Darley Abbey, DE22 1DS.
This popular event is the perfect place to buy Christmas gifts. Stallholders will be selling a range of crafts and gifts, many of them hand made.
Tea, coffee and cake will be on sale and there will also be the chance to win gifts in the tombola.

The November newsletter with some great news. We have managed to get St. Paul’s C of E Church added to the list of churches recognised by Walter Evans C of E Primary school in Darley Abbey giving children in the area a potentially higher priority than others outside the catchment area. Walter Evans’ sibling policy also means that once you’ve got one child in, the rest are guaranteed a place (this does not happen at any other school in Derby, and has caused families in the local area much pain and frustration in the past).
Also, on Sunday evening at 7pm at St. Paul’s Church is a Chester Green Remembers 1914-18 evening – A Tribute to the men of Chester Green who gave their lives in the Great War. It’s free and features music, poetry and drama based around the Great War and promises to be a busy and great event. A collection will be held in aid of Combat Stress mental health charity and the Open Road will be there, who have just released a single in aid of the Poppy Appeal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtq5fEIlLcQ).
Lots of other info in this weeks packed newsletter, so take a look 🙂
