Friends of Alburgh WhatsApp Group

We have setup a WhatsApp group for anyone that would like to offer their time to help out form time to time. This will of course be entirely down to your availability but we occasionally ask for volunteers to help with working parties around the village or distribute leaflets. Anyone is welcome to join the group which can be reached here

War Memorial

A pamphlet has been produced to coincide with the renovation of the memorial, organised by Alburgh Parish Council, for 2011.  Copies can be had from Ruth Walton or inside the church.
