If you've noticed a missed call from a number you don't recognise (particularly international numbers), it is important that you don't call this number back and consider reporting this as a potential scam.
Phone companies are advising customers to reject these calls and if you have friends or family living overseas, it is recommended to have their numbers added as contacts in your mobile phone, so you can identify when they are calling you.

I have attached a copy of the poster, advertising the concert, and I had wondered why the word "Hair" was included in the title but, as we are singing "Aquarius" in the concert, I understand that this comes from the stage production of "Hair". We have a lovely varied programme for the concert, and as is our usual practise, afternoon tea will be served after the concert. See you there!
