All are welcome to a very special event at the Church this month - St Mary's is hosting a Bat Watch, where it is hoped that some of these fascinating and elusive little creatures will introduce themselves and give us a glimpse of what goes on in their lives. Scheduled to appear also are representatives from Essex Wildlife, to answer questions not just about the "flitter-mice" but about all aspects of local wildlife.

• Venue: St Mary's Churchyard, Stapleford Abbotts
• Date: Wednesday August 14th
• Meet in church at approx 8.15pm for tea / coffee.
• Bat watch begins in the churchyard at approx 8.45pm.
