A relaxed, family friendly village get-together as we won’t have the fete this year to catch up with neighbours. A perfect opportunity to meet our newer residents – we’d love you all to come along. This will be a fundraiser for the Village Community - there’ll be hotdogs/veggie options, Pimm’s, soft drinks, ice cream, teas and cakes for sale. After lunch, games of family rounders and Norman Clarke will announce the winners of this year’s gardens competition. It promises to be a lovely afternoon in a beautiful setting.

So if you were wondering when to get on with that front garden tidy-up now’s a great time, you may be a winner.
Litterpick – a fantastic turn out to support the litter pick, thank you to everyone who joined in. Thanks also to Gill Ward for overall co-ordination and to those who provided refreshments and collected up the bags.

We’re pleased to share news of recent improvements that were made possible by 200 Club funds. The Village Hall front doors have been repainted, gutters repaired, a roof leak sorted and new oak doors fitted to the village noticeboard (to the left of the main front door). Thanks for your support 200 Club members.
Good luck – to everyone taking exams of some kind around now. Fingers crossed you get the results you’re looking for before enjoying some well-deserved relaxation time this Summer.
