THE next Micheldever First-Sunday-In-The-Month walk will take place on Sunday, August 4.

Attendees are asked to meet at the Warren Centre car park at 10am, where they will then car share to Newhouse Farm, Northington. This three to four mile walk is entirely on private farmland following agricultural tracks around fields and through ancient woodland. Walkers will cross a B road twice.

The route will take walkers near to the east side of Micheldever Wood then east along the whole length of Lawn Copse following the Victorian track from Micheldever. At the south east extent of the walk, the land rises up slightly and affords fine views to the north.

After the conclusion of the walk, participants are invited to have refreshments at the Half Moon and Spread Eagle. A donation of £5 is suggested for attendees, with children attending free. Dogs are welcome but must be cleaned up after. For more details, contact Sue Bell at  suebell0906@gmail.com.

ST MARY’S Church, Micheldever, will hold a music night on September 29. An unforeseen bill for significant money has arisen for essential repairs on the church's magnificent organ. In response, this evening of music will be dedicated to raising funds for that repair.

The seating will be adjusted to bring the musicians into the nave to optimize the acoustics for music. It is hoped that the music night will evolve into a regular feature, offering a diverse range of music and performances. More information about the music night will be revealed soon.
