Operation Christmas Child 2015 from David Ford

I have just received advice that this year’s warehouse will be in Halstead. It is the on the Bluebridge Industrial Estate. The address is St John Ambulance, Fenn Road, Halsted, Essex, CO9 2HG. The proposed programme is as follows:-

Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th November 1000 to 1500 hrs – set up and induction (Please attend one of these days to allow for the paperwork exercise.)

Monday 16th, Tuesday 17th and Wednesday 18th November 0900 to 1500 hrs for schools visits.

Thursday 19th November 1500 to 2000 hrs to allow those who work to participate with us.

Saturday 21st November 1000 to 1400 hrs a chance to bring the children/grandchildren.

Sunday 22nd November 1300 to 1600 hrs a Bring and Share Lunch. A chance to worship together and celebrate the gifts we are seeing.

Monday 23rd, Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th November 0900 to 1500 hrs, Thursday 26th November 0900 to 2000 hrs, Friday 27th November 0900 to 1500 hrs is Schools week.

Monday 30th, Tuesday 1st December, Wednesday 2nd December 0900 to 1500 hrs. Hopefully we will finish during this week.

Parking is limited. Please drop off at site and then park in Courtald’s Sports ground (just a few minutes walk away).

There will obviously be a need from Sudbury to ‘double-up’ with vehicles and for others to give lifts for those without transport.

If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me on 01787 374346.
