The Benefice Harvest Supper will be held, as usual, in the Domus Building (thanks to the kindness of Lord Montagu) on the evening of Monday October 15, 2018. There is ample parking in Church Meadow, and access to the Estate will be via a gateway close to the western wall of the Beaulieu Abbey Church Churchyard. Final details are still to be decided, but we can be assured that there will be a welcome drink, a traditional 'harvest supper' meal, wine able to be purchased from the Bar, entertainment and a raffle.
The evening is regarded as one of the highlights of the Benefice' Social Calendar, and tickets (£16.50 from Margaret Marshall (by telephone on 02380 892469, or Thursday mornings in the Office. Cheques payable to Beaulieu Church Social Committee) sell fast! Seating will be in tables of ten persons, so perhaps you might like to arrange a table for yourselves??

Despite Peter Hackston's contract as Director of Music ending on 31 August, he was back at the Abbey Church on September 2, playing the organ! Father John used to opportunity to present Peter with a gift, made up of contributions from the congregation (the Choir had generously made their own gift a few days earlier).
This picture was taken in the Cloisters, outside the Abbey Church, with Peter, the choir, Father John White (Rector), Tony Norris (partially hidden by the processional cross) and Peter Melhuish, Church Warden.
We all send our best wishes to Peter in the next stage of his musical career.
