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.

A big thank you to everyone who helped with the recent Macmillan Coffee Morning which raised a fantastic £787.11 and the Harvest Supper which raised £357 for RABI! Both events were a real credit to our community and enjoyed by all who went along.

Well done to everyone involved in Saturday’s successful and enjoyable event. We will update you with numbers and fundraising details later but we hope everyone had a fantastic time!

Come along tomorrow for a great event! From 2pm on the Sports Field in Ashburnham. Click on this news item to see the poster with full details on!

The Parish Magazine diary page for Saturday 26th May says that there is a Men’s Breakfast and WI Coffee Morning. Unfortunately these events took place in April and were left in the May diary by mistake! Apologies for any confusion caused.

We are delighted to announce that the villages’ bid to the Big Lottery Fund for £9,566 has been successful! The money will fund essential work to improve access to the sports field which is a condition of the planning approval for the new village hall. Watch this space for more news about the work which should start in early summer.
