Sleeping with bats



Congratulations to Margaret Shannon (pictured) from Great Waldingfield and also to her friend Lesley Mitchell from Sudbury who braved the bats and things that go bump in the night to undertake a sleep-over in Great Waldingfield Church to raise money for church maintenance.

As can be seen from the picture above damp has started to damage the walls of the church. Margaret alone has raised over £500 for the cause. Lesley’s total is not yet known.

The vigil commenced at 7.30p.m.on Monday evening and finished 12 hours later. Supporters held a ‘Songs of Praise’ with coffee in the evening to encourage the intrepid pair, but they were then left alone from 9.30 to take their chances with whatever might manifest itself.

Tents were erected to ensure that Margaret and Lesley were untroubled by unwanted offerings from the bats, and Margaret said that although she had a rather restless night on the whole she had been quite ‘comfy and cozy’!
