• RESIDENTS should be warned there will be Red Nosed Activity in the village this year – the Ladies Table Tennis Club will be after YOU – so stand by your wallets on Friday, March 18th!
  • THE FLOWER and Brass Rotas are still on the board in the church tower waiting for you lovely folk to put your names down! The only person on the brass rota, so far, does not live in the village – but just loves to see our little church looking good - if you are not sure what is involved get in touch with Mandy or myself – many thanks in advance. Looking at the notices will also give you the chance to inspect the tower refurbishment & redecoration – we think it is looking good.
  • VILLAGE Club was treated to an excellent presentation by Sue Hennessy on ‘Hidden Depths – Women of the RNLI’- she was fresh from Virginia, where she had given her talk to the American Coastguards. Women have been deeply involved in the RNLI for over 180 years; not, it is true, as crew members (they are now – even as coxswain & helmsman) but as the muscles - heaving the boats up and down beaches for launch/recovery, also in the more recognised tea making, fund raising and moral support. The fundraising is hugely important as all monies come from donations, wills, sales,lifeboat days etc – nothing from the State; this is for everything, from the most modern lifeboat to the provision of beach lifeguards. Sue is an accomplished speaker & has unearthed some fascinating stories for her book, if you see she is at a venue near you, do go along and hear for yourselves!
  • SATURDAY, March 19th at 11am, there is a ‘Brunch & Coffee Morning with Bacon Butties’ at the Village Hall – there will be the usual stalls: cakes, books, plants & bric-a-brac, all in aid of the Village Hall.
  • THE VILLAGE was saddened by the death of Ian Johnstone, a much valued resident for some years – treasurer for the church and the fete, ‘picker-up’ of litter on his walks,painter of benches, cleaner of brass – so many of those little jobs no one notices, until they are not being done. God Bless, Ian we shall miss you.
