Trinity Church Services Hythe 2000 is the local charity which normally runs two projects in St John’s Hall and we are so sad that at the moment we are unable to carry on with Smarties Parent & Toddler Group and also Gateway IT for All. Every two or three weeks we discuss the possibility of reopening but still feel that it is a risk not worth taking. Many of our clients at Gateway are ‘mature’ learners, as are the tutors, so we do feel we have to be especially careful. As soon as we feel able to re-open either or both, we will put up a notice in the Hall and contact as many clients, both young & old, as we can by phone or email. Also a er much discussion we have now decided not to go ahead with the very popular annual Christmas Tree Festival this year, especially in view of the ever changing regulations due to COVID-19. We hope to be able to plan a really super festival next year. Hythe 2000 in Hibernation by Christine Richards the form of a cross). Because of these walks, she was asked by the TEARFUND’s founder, George Ho man, to run lorries of humanitarian aid to Croatia during the Croatian War. She sent over 50 lorries, travelling personally with many of them, full of much-needed supplies of food, furniture, medical equipment and supplies, toiletries, and even an electrical organ for a Children’s Home. Indeed, everything that was needed, Hazel delivered right to the Front Line risking her life to help people who had lost their homes, livelihoods and families. She delivered charity aid to anyone who needed it. is book is about her experiences during those dangerous years, and the people who helped her and those she helped. It is based on journals she kept at the time and later recollections of particular people and events. As such, it is a vivid account of how the Croatians in the War Zone su ered at the hands of the Chetnilks who would attack villages inhabited by Croatians, while leaving neighbouring villages in Croatia where Serbs lived unscathed.
