There has been a fantastic response to the Scarecrow Competition, there are 31 scattered around our villages for you to see! They will be in place until 9th August. Please see the dedicated page above for a list of locations.

Lots of scarecrows are appearing around the villages! All those entered in the competition will be in place by Friday and will be up for the following week. Head to the Scarecrow Competition page on Saturday for a list of locations! Judging will take place over the weekend. Thanks to everyone who has got involved!

Nat is launching a takeaway service from the Ash on Monday. Check out the pub facebook page or give the pub a ring to find out more – 01424 892104.

Please note that most Village events, meetings and Church services (apart from the Parish Council Meeting on Friday 20th) have been cancelled following Government advice. The Parish Magazine for April will be out next week and will have further information. We will also aim to keep this site updated as things progress.

We have postponed the bonfire and fireworks, due to take place this Friday 8th November as the field is so waterlogged due to the recent heavy rains. We are trying to find an alternative date so watch this space!

This Saturday starting at 1.30pm at the Sports Field – lots of fun for all the family. Do come along! Flower Show Poster Final

Some hardy villagers will be up at the New Village Hall site on Saturday 16th March, they are planting some native hedging around the perimeter which will look good as it grows up as well as being fantastic for wildlife. They will also tackle a few of the young trees that are growing up and are in danger of crowding out some of the amazing views that make the site so attractive to villagers and visitors alike.

The monthly quiz at the Ash is on Tuesday 12th this month, not 5th. See you there!

Residents aged 4-83 joined us on Saturday 23rd February to litter pick around the villages. We collected a frighteningly large amount of rubbish and hope that our lanes look a bit cleaner than before! Well done to everyone who organised it and all those who turned up to help. Watch this space for details of the next date for litter picking.
