Our usual open gardens website experienced technical difficulties (flowtonopengardens.co.uk) – maybe the slugs have got it!

But we have got to the ROOT of the problem and are digging it out ….

Our first virtual quiz night is being held on Monday 13th April (Easter Monday) at 8pm on Zoom. If you’re interested in taking part, email @ and we can send the information over to you.

Unfortunately due to a number of people meeting in the church contravening the latest government requirement to not travel or meeting in groups, it has now had to be locked. 

At the moment, the quiz nights are cancelled. We will keep you up to date about future planned events.

The Link magazine will not be delivered for April. It is available online at: https://sites.google.com/site/linknewsletterfows

Stay at home. Protect the NHS. Save lives.

Please take care to ensure you are getting accurate information on coronavirus or Covid19.

There are some really simple steps we can all take to get into good habits to protect ourselves and others to stop the spread of viruses and germs including Coronavirus.

These include:
• Wash your hands more often than usual, for 20 seconds, and use soap and hot water.
• Particularly remember to wash your hands after coughing, sneezing and blowing your nose, or after being in public areas or travelling on public transport.
• Promote the Catch it, Bin it, Kill it.
We can all reduce the spread of all germs when we cough or sneeze, by covering mouths and noses with a tissue, or a sleeve (not your hands) if you don’t have a tissue, and throw the tissue away immediately in a closed bin

Keep yourselves well – take any medication as prescribed to stay as healthy as you can; this will help the overall pressure on the health system and NHS that may be coming.

Consult reputable sources such as the NHS website, government website or Public Health England for current advice, including about self-isolating if you have been in contact with anyone with coronavirus or returning from certain countries abroad.

Each year Flowton PCC chooses an additional charity to support with its fundraising, alongside raising money to keep the church up and running. 

This year, 2020, it has chosen to support Young Minds, a child and adolescent mental health charity. Find out more about the work they do here: www.youngminds.org.uk 

Our first trivia quiz of 2020 will be held on Friday 24th January, at 7.30pm in church.

Small admission fee with teams of 4-6 players. Come along and join a team on the night if you can’t make up a full team. Bring your own refreshments too!
