| I want to start this month's newsletter with a couple of apologies: Firstly, to Richard ASKAM, for spelling his name wrong in last months issue. Sorry Richard!! My spell check said it was wrong, but I overruled it. (Typical woman I hear you say!) And also to the church organisers, for getting the date of the bingo wrong. (That will teach me not to ‘cut & paste' information received in e mails!!) I will try harder this month. VILLAGE NEWS After 32 years of teaching at Fulstow School , Mrs Norman is retiring at the end of the July term. Most residents in the village will either have been taught by her themselves, or have children who are or were her pupils. Anyone wishing to make a donation to her parting gift please contact Nicky Pike on 363405. There is also a retirement card and if anyone would like to write something or lend a photo of her which can be added to a sort of "This is your Life in Fulstow" please contact Nicky ASAP. A big thank you to everyone who supported the Church Bingo. A grand total of £255.00 was raised and a great time was had by all. Community Luncheon and School Social On Friday, 8 th June & Friday, 6 th July, all the school children will be going to the village hall for lunch, the idea is to integrate them with anyone from the village or their friends who would like to join them for a hot 2 course lunch. This happens in lots of other villages and we think it will be good idea to start this here. How many of you say " I don't know the children at school anymore" Come along if possible. Please book with either Nicky 363405 or Paula 363694 Booking not necessary but it would be helpful. Thanks Lunch will cost £ 1.50 per child & £2.50 per adult. Friday 8 th June - Menu Roast Chicken, Potatoes, Sweet corn, Carrots, Peas, Gravy Followed by Chocolate Pudding & Custard (Optional) A Lunch in aid of LOUTH HOSPICE will be held in the village hall on Thursday, June 28th from 11.30am – 1.30pm. Please, come along and lend your support. Lunch will be £5.00. Bookings can be made through Paula Vessey on 363694 or Nicky Pike 363405. Donations for the lunch or raffle would be most appreciated. Lunch Menu Below All of you with fishponds, be vigilant at early light. The local heron is around and has cleared a number of garden ponds in the village during May. You have been warned!!
VILLAGE HALL The Village Hall A.G.M. was held on 14 th May. Chairman Terry Nurrish reported a successful year in which the Village Hall facilities contributed enormously to help enrich our lives in so many ways. Here are just some of those ways, particularly for those who are recent arrivals to Fulstow; During the year past we have seen a fantastic show done by the children of the village “Stars in their Eyes”, a brilliant “Talk of the Town” and “Murder Mystery Night” by the Fulstow Players, a “Party in the Park” with live bands, 5 Touring Theatre companies including live flamenco dancers from Seville, a Ted Hughes play for children, a cabaret duo, a comedian poet, and a quirky folksy clowning music band. We have had a record number of parties for weddings and birthdays ranging from young to, well not very young! We had a terrific Valentine's Ball with live music and a superb meal in an ambience you would not believe possible in a Village Hall. The catering facilities are excellent and, as an aside, we have recently been given an A1 rating for Health and Safety by the E.L.D.C. inspection. Some of the regular events are; indoor bowls club, toddlers play group, “twirlers” club, belly dancing group, slimming and exercise class, and (soon to start) a badminton club, and superb facilities for the snooker club. On the playing fields we have football teams, a tennis court available free to all, and dog agility classes on Sunday mornings. So come and join in!!! Call Ailsa on 363895 for details. A plea from the Village Hall Committee. A large number of bowls/plates etc. are missing from the village hall. Will everyone have a look in their cupboards and return anything found to the Village Hall as soon as possible please. Crockery is very expensive and replacing all that is missing would cost a lot of money, so be honest, if it isn't yours, give it back, you know you meant to. Also, the big green bin outside the Village Hall is for Village Hall use only , not a dumping ground for everyone's rubbish. The dustbin lorry visits the village hall car park every month; please take your unwanted items to that. After a number of years doing a brilliant job, Nicky Pike has resigned as secretary to the village hall committee. Anyone wishing to make a booking should now contact Ailsa on 363895 .

Apparently bands now start at 6pm . Bar & BBQ. Admission free . Donations towards the cost of this event will be collected in a bucket on the night. (when you've all had a drink or three!!)

OPEN GARDEN Mrs Margaret Macdonald, The Willows, Main Street , Fulstow, will be opening her beautiful garden to the public on Sunday July 8 th . 1pm to 5pm. Entrance £2.50.

Is reading in the bathroom considered multi-tasking?
