We are pleased to welcome local author, Denise Beddows, to give an illustrated talk about Christmas in the Victorian times. Denise will also touch on traditions that pre-dated this period, as well as many of the Victorian (and German) customs that we still enjoy today. The talk will take place at 2pm on Friday 5 December in Chalfont St Giles Parish Church and will be followed by tea and mince pies. There is no charge for the talk and all are welcome. As always, any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. Denise is founder of the hugely successful Chiltern Kills Crime Festival in Gerrards Cross, and an active supporter of Chalfont St Giles & Jordans Literary Festival. She held a senior position in government for many years, with a background in research, investigation and intelligence analysis which saw her work and live in over 20 countries. During this time she was tear-gassed, mortar-bombed, held-up at gunpoint by sky marshalls and briefly taken hostage. Now writing from the much quieter environment of her home in the Chalfonts, she has published numerous crime and espionage novels, and true crime. Her books regularly sit in Amazon’s top five best sellers and is widely celebrated in professional awards ceremonies. We are honoured and grateful that Denise has generously agreed to give this talk for our enjoyment and as a fundraiser to support the Friends of the Church charity.

A huge thank you to everyone that has donated !
As you may be aware All Together Community have held a large Christmas event for the last three years. Over 50 people attend, who all enjoy a traditional Christmas lunch, entertainment and receive a gift. We are fundraising to hold another lunch this year. Many of the people attending will be alone at Christmas so this is really special to them and us. Any donations here greatly appreciated.
Many thanks 🎅🏻🎄
