Village News

with Margaret Morbey

Crime in Chearsley
It is disturbing to learn that a few days ago a house in Shupps Lane  was broken into overnight and electrical goods stolen. Four quad tyres were also stolen on the same night from a garden in Crendon Road, Chearsley. During the night of Sunday March 11, an unlocked car in School Lane had its contents rifled through. A warning to be vigilant at all times and to be aware of strangers in the village.

Jubilee Celebrations
Please book Monday June 4 as the day over the Jubilee weekend to come and celebrate in Chearsley.  More details will be circulated over the next weeks ,but it will comprise a Royal Scarecrow competition on The Green in the week beforehand – so families get thinking and creating; bring your own picnic on The Green, while a street  lunch is provided for all the children; afternoon activities and entertainment for the children; evening celebrations of music and food; candle lit procession to the Church to light the beacon and toast to the Queen. Chearsley always celebrates in style and it will be another good day to get together.

Mobile Library
This will next be in the village on Monday March 26 from 12.20 until 12.45pm.

Monthly Lunch at The Bell
It is time to book your place for the March Lunch which will be on Wednesday March 28 at 12.30pm. This month’s menu choice is from Fish Pie and vegetables, vegetable lasagne, or cottage pie with puddings of fruit crumble, cheesecake or ice-cream, followed by tea or coffee, all for a very reasonable price. If you are tempted to join this little band of villagers and friends as a way of supporting The Bell and meeting up each month,  please ring Ann Hooton on 208306

Easter Egg Hunt in The Bell Garden
This will be held on Sunday April 8 at 11.00 at a cost of £4.00 per child to include refreshments.

Our Shop
I hope that everyone in Chearsley appreciates just how lucky the village is to have our shop open again and for such long hours. New items appear all the time, the latest one being takeaway tea and coffee from a very neat  machine for a very reasonable price. Thank you Jeyan and Suki for all your hard work and enthusiasm.
