Village News

with Margaret Morbey
Lizzie Carte
As was reported last week on the front page of The Bucks Herald, Lizzie died on April 10th and Eric is now home. She was known and loved by so many of us in the village and we now just have our many memories of her bubbly, witty, cheeky personality. She will never be forgotten. Our love and sympathy go to Eric and Lil, Lizzie’s mother, who lived in Chearsley for quite a few years, her brother Billy and all her other relatives. No details are known of her funeral as I write, but these will be posted on her website http://lecarteblanc.blogspot.com/
Village Quiz
I gave wrong information last week about the Village Quiz, for which I apologise. This will now be held on Saturday, September 27th in the Village Hall, so you have plenty of time of mark the date in your calendar and swot up! It will be well advertised at the time.
“The Oil of Life”
There will be an evening of songs and poems of Sir John Betjeman on Saturday 17th May at Chearsley Village Hall at 7.30pm. Tickets will be sold on the door at a price of £8.00 or £5.00 concessions, to include a glass of wine. For more information, call Annie Munk on07942718908 or email anniemunk@aol.com.
