Fulstow News
July 2007 

Another mistake!! Apparently the dustbin lorry no longer visits the village hall car park every month.
Sorry!!
I know facilities are very limited these days but please get rid of your rubbish without dumping it in the Village Hall bin!!

VILLAGE NEWS

Please beware!! 13 year old Connor Fair from Main Street had his new bicycle stolen this month from the side of his house. It was an unusual cycle, an all black Pro Am. If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of this machine, Connor would like his Christmas present back please.

Children have been caught climbing on the roof of the Village Hall. They are getting onto the roof by climbing on the large green container, which contains old tables & chairs and is situated at the back of the village hall. This is obviously an extremely dangerous pursuit and parents are asked to warn their offspring of the dangers incurred in such a pastime.

Also certain youths (some from this village and others from elsewhere) have been spotted causing damage and throwing nails and broken glass on the sports field. You know who you are and so do the police now!! It's not big and it's not clever. Criminal damage is a serious offence and if caught you will be prosecuted. SO STOP before you get into serious trouble.

Recipe Book

A book of “Cooking in Fulstow” is being compiled and recipes are needed to include in this book. All proceeds are to go to the church. Any recipes you have for Grandma's supper dishes, soups, posh puddings, quick meals or cakes, dig them out and send them to either Nicky Pike or Joyce Marshall senior.

Community Luncheon and School Social

On Friday, 6 th July, the school children will be going to the village hall for lunch again, if anyone would like to join them for a hot 2 course lunch starting at 12.15.

Booking not necessary but it would be helpful. Thanks.
