Celestial Candles & Ceilidh

This Saturday (26 March 2011) Bythams Music‘s first event for 2011 takes place.  At 6.30pm in Little Bytham Church there will be a concert of sacred music with a Celtic flavour with the Children’s Choir of St Wulfram’s in Grantham led by Dr Tim Williams. Entry to this event is free of charge but donations to the Children’s Choir and Little Bytham Church are welcomed! Afterwards, at 8.30pm, there will be a Ceilidh Dance in Little Bytham Village Hall with the brilliant Castle Band. Drinks, refreshments and food will be available, entry to the Ceilidh being £3 per person.

Heating Oil

Those with oil-fired boilers will know how much more expensive oil has become over the last few years.  It may be possible, however, to save a little by putting in combined orders for five or six different customers within these villages.  The saving could be in the order of 5p per litre or £50 per 1000 litres.

Nino D’Anna of Careby has been discussing the problem with one of the distribution companies and believes that the scheme will help all, including those who only need 500 litres. It may also be possible to predetermine the delivery date.

If you are interested either phone Nino on 01780 410725 or email him at ninodanna@btconnect.com
