February 2001

St. Valentine’s Day is Wednesday, 14th February, so just a reminder to all you Gentlemen !

As some of you will have read the Village Hall has received confirmation that we are too receive a grant of approx.: £ 2,500 towards some new play equipment for the field at the back of the village hall, this money along with money left over from the Millennium Party should give us enough to be able to put up swings, slide and climbing apparatus. A big thanks to those on the Millennium committee last year for their hard work.

200 ClubKaren Nurrish has some numbers available for the 200 club – all monies to upkeep of the Village Hall – 1st Come 1st Served – Tel: 363896 or see Karen

The Maddison family have ask that a thank you be made to Mrs Nicola Pike, Mrs Paula Vessey, Mrs Joyce Marshall, Mrs Bet Wallis & Mrs Joan Clark for their help at the funeral of Charlie Maddison who sadly passed away last month,

Playgroup

After many years of wonderful hard work Sandra Willerton has decided to call it a day with playgroup. This leaves us with a problem. If anyone is willing to offer their services to run playgroup for a small wage, would they please call at the village hall on Monday or Tuesday morning or Tel: 363405 to discuss it. If no one is willing to take on the role, Playgroup will CLOSE. Some of the Mum’s have offered to help out on a rota system but we need someone with the time and dedication that Sandra has had over the past 15years.

Country March for Liberty & Livelihood – Sunday March 18th 2001

We are marching to demands that Parliament defend the right of rural people to live our lives responsibly in the way we choose, to protect rural people from prejudice, particularly against all country sport including the hunting with dogs & address the real problems of the countryside that are destroying our communities, our culture and our children’s future.

Anyone who feels strongly about these issues is URGED to take part.

Busses are being organised locally and can be booked by ringing R. Finney Tel: 363791
