Wedding Congratulations
Richard Grimsdell, middle son of Sue and Peter, former landlord of The Bell in Chearsley, married Dawn Andrews on Easter Saturday at Chearsley Church. All the best to them both for their future together.
Bingo at The Bell
A good number were at another successful Bingo night at The Bell on Tuesday, 6th with good fortune attracted to a couple of lucky tables. A raffle raised over £40 towards the cost of Chearsley’s Fayre. The Bingo lingo gives rise to a few questions of the origin of the calling names and I have tracked down the reason for the association of Number 9 and Doctor’s Orders. “Number 9” was the name of a laxative in World War II. Not much call for that in The Bell!
Chearsley W.I.
Their next meeting will be on Tuesday, 20th April at 2.oo pm in the Village Hall, when ex-BBC weather forecaster Bill Giles OBE will be giving a talk on “Presenting the BBC Weather Forecast”. Please do come along, as the meeting is open to everyone, members or not, to what will be a very interesting afternoon. Let’s hope the weather is favourable! There will be tea and cakes for refreshments afterwards.
