Chearsley Country Fayre
This took place on a sunny Saturday, June 28th on the village green, heralded the previous week by a collection of scarey scarecrows - the winner, Holly Hot Lips created by the Minford family. The hot day brought a good crowd to enjoy all the entertainment - Morris Dancing, The Animal Man Show, and all the usual side shows and stalls. It was also a good chance for the newly- opened shop to be inspected. The Grand Draw and Fayre made well over £6,000 which will be shared between the Church, The Village Hall and the Village Trust. This great village affair climaxed with fireworks after a pigroast and dancing to Silver at The Bell that evening. The fete committee, led by Claire Lazaruk and Joy Payne are to be congratulated for all the hard work and organization they put in to make the day such a success.
Mark Lowther
Saturday June 28th was also a very special day for Mark Lowther, one time organist and choirmaster of St. Nicholas, Chearsley, who left here to live in London about 5 years ago. On Saturday, he was ordained a deacon together with 33 other men and women at St. Paul’s Cathedral by the Bishop of London. This very special ceremony was also attended by Mary Scholefield who had the important role of being one of 2 people to present Mark and walked up the aisle with him. Mark will now become a part time curate at St. Peter’s, Eaton Square, London.Congratulations and good luck, Mark.
Chearsley TeaRoom
It is very much hoped that the tearoom will be open on Saturday July 12th for its first day. Please check notices in the shop window for confirmation and information.
