Hello Everyone,
With Summer hopefully approaching and holidays being planned, some of the village clubs and activities have ceased until the Autumn, so we celebrated our last Pub Night - a popular event and returning in September - on April 25th.
Soup Lunches and Kurling have also finished for the time being. We will of course be having the annual Village Show and Music Nights in July; further details in this issue.

Hello everyone. Well, Spring has officially sprung and many folks now will be getting their gardens into shape for what we hope will be a warm and sunny Summer, climate change allowing of course.
This is also the time to start planning what you might be interested in growing with our Village Show in mind, whether it be vegetables, fruit, shrubs, pot plants, flower arrangements - garden or wild flowers. All entries will be welcomed and we hope to have a high turnout for a fun afternoon.

Unfortunately, the previously advertised Editor found herself unable to take up the post, so I am filling in for the time being.
