St James Dalby  - Community Events


Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world.
For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.   
           Margaret  Mead                                                             

Love is the doorway through which the human soul passes  from selfishness to service
    and from solitude
        to kinship with all humankind.                                      Anonymous

      Stylish tailor, Alan (Bill Nighy) has spent years searching for the eldest of his two sons who had stormed off over a game of Scrabble.  This is a poignant but quietly amusing film about always being treated as second-best  - “vegemite” instead of “marmite”!  Mark Kermode loved this film.

Other Events and activities
Proceeds after costs go to our restoration fund  ( we're currently waiting for planning permission to reframe both church windows on the East wall of the church that are seriously rotten due to ongoing water penetration . as well as a determined rodent, and hoping we can get these doubled glazed tto stop further water penetration, and drafts through the original  glass panes ).......  as well as to our two charities for the year : the Manx based charity :  Mannin Sepsis and the Manx overseas Charity The Pahar Trust Nepal
Almost every month we have at least one event :  be it a concert, a slide show, quiz night, World Bonnag Championship, speaker or music night, it inevitably has a supper and approx 60 people attending. These nights are fun and fundraising, with proceeds going to the ongoing maintenance and restoration of this unique historic building + 10% to our charities for the year.  
Margy is our events coordinator  : magot@manx.net 

Our " Dalby Booking Office " is but a grand term for a very amazing family who volunteer to do this out of the kindness of their hearts in amongst the busyness of their own lives...... it'd be good if you could therefore please ring within normal working hours if possible; thanks.
