He also urges taxpayers giving £2 or more to increase the value of their gifts at no cost by completing the Gift Aid form on the envelope
John says, "We thank everyone who gives to support this most worthwhile charitable work and would still be pleased to hear from anyone who is able to give a couple of hours to help collecting during the week"

When: 7.30pm

David Payne will be presenting his one-man sho which is a dramatic re-enactment of a scene from the life of the famous British writer and is based on a meeting in 1963 in his twilight years
Following a request from his great friend J R Tolkien, Lewis has agreed to give an informal talk to a group of American writers visiting England
They have come to Lewis' home just outside Oxford and eagerly wait hearing the man who has become a legend in his own lifetime. They are not disappointed. Despite failing health, Lewis is in great form
His audience is spellbound as, with a display of oratory and humour, he recounts the significant events and the people that shaped his life.
David Payne is an acclaimed artist in the USA and regularly plays to large audiences
