Jubilee Oak
Chearsley Parish Council is one of 80 Councils throughout Bucks to take advantage of AVDC’s offer of a free English oak tree to create a tribute to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee. Chearsley’s tree was planted on The Green on Sunday December 16 by Nic Brown, chairman of Chearsley Parish Council, with the help of a few villagers, particularly Venetia, supplying spades, water, stakes and general comments and advice. It is hoped that the tree will survive for many generations to enjoy to remember the the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. See here for a photo of the occasion.
Carol Singing
£400 has been collected this Christmas by one night’s carol singing round the village and at the Carols Round the Tree. This amount will be divided between the charities Cystic Fibrosis and DebRA.
Parish Council Meeting
The next meeting is planned to take place at the Village Hall on Monday
Old unwanted Christmas Cards
Thank you to everyone who supported my son, Andrew, (Podge) in buying some of the Christmas gift tags we made this year , with particular thanks to Sharon at The Bell for being so pro-active in selling them. We need some more old cards for next Christmas’s supply and would happily collect a bag from anyone who would like to donate them to us. Please email margmorb@mail.com or phone 208913 if you can help us.

Local Burglaries
We are constantly having reports of break-ins in our area which serve as reminders to always keep our homes secure as much as possible. There was a burglary this week in Long Crendon, and I have experienced a couple of “creepy” experiences in Chearsley – a shadowy figure darting out of a garden to run off down the road into the village and during early evening a couple of occasions when I felt someone was in the garden. I don’t consider that I have a nervous disposition, but it has made me remember to always keep the doors locked even when I am in the house. We should all do the same at all times.
