St
Martin's Circle
St
Martin’s Circle began in 1981 and is a church – based group,
meeting once a month to provide a friendly, informal meeting
place for ladies. It is open to all ladies, whether they
are members of a church or not, and there is no formal membership.
For
several years the numbers were quite small, but it gradually
grew larger, necessitating a move from private homes to
the church hall. The programme is Christian-based, but covers
a wide range of subjects; it includes speakers on Mission
and Relief work, as for example, TEAR Fund, Christian Aid,
and the Leprosy Mission, with tapes, videos, discussions,
Christmas and other music, and an annual lunch in the spring.
It
is always advertised in the parish magazine and all ladies
are very welcome to come along. Over the years small ‘bring
and buy’ sales and special collections have enabled us to
make a number of donations to various good causes.
