Books, Bagels & Banter
WATCH THIS SPACE Next week we’ll be announcing our exciting line-up of speakers for Books, Bagels & Banter so check in then to meet the speakers and for ticketing details.
A huge thank you to members of the St Andrew’s community who have donated books, given their time to sort these and so much more. We still have a large number of books to sort so if you can spare an hour or two on Wednesday, please come to the Church hall
between 9am and 12 noon.
We also need volunteers on the weekend of the event, particularly people to sell books - if you can lend a hand, message us or let Karen know at the office.
St Andrew’s is well-known for its hospitality and we wish to extend this to everyone who attends the opening night on Friday 24th May. If you are able to make a donation to help cover some of the expenses please contact the office – any amount will be gratefully received.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
