Village News

with Margaret Morbey

Pat Marshall
It is sad to report the death of Pat who had lived in Old Plough Close for many years.  She had been a  member of Chearsley W.I., at one time being the Chairman, but preferring the role of Secretary. She was also a founder-member of the annual  Chearsley Fruit and Vegetable show. Her funeral has taken place, and our sympathies go to her family.

Chearsley W.I.
Their next meeting takes place on Tuesday  21st September at The Village Hall. All visitors are welcome to come to hear their speaker, Louise Reed, taking on the role of Elizabeth Barrett Anderson, Britain's, first woman doctor. Please see the Notice Board for more information.
