Summer Afternoon Party
Jim
Join us from 3pm for a relaxed summer afternoon at Chignal St James Village Hall. This will be an easygoing get together with plenty of time to chat, unwind and enjoy the warm weather.
Please bring along something tasty to share and your favourite summer drink. If the weather’s kind, we’ll also have a few light outdoor games available — possibly including pétanque — for anyone who fancies a bit of gentle fun.
Directions: To find the hall (grid ref TL665108, What3Words ///perform.paler.file, postcode CM1 4TS), take the A1060 (Rainsford Rd./Roxwell Road) out of Chelmsford. Turn right at the lights into Chignall Road; after about a mile, turn left into Mashbury Road, signposted Chignall St James. The hall is on the left after almost two miles.
Further details will be added once arrangements are confirmed.
