Village Plan – Open Meeting for villagers on Wednesday July 17
The committee led by John Lewis are now in a position to inform the village of conclusions that have been reached on many topics, including housing, business, community and leisure, public services environment, to be included in the Plan. The meeting will beheld in the village hall on Wednesday July 17 at 7.45pm for 8.00pm start will present the draft Village Plan, including the proposed method of seeking endorsement from the village and the timetable for publication of the final Village Plan.
Hanging Basket Competition – part of Chearsley Show
Judging for this takes place in the week beginning July 22. Entry forms , available from the Shop or Joy should be completed and given to Joy Payne at 1 Bernards Close as soon as possible. In past years, entries for this has been disappointing which is surprising in view of the number of very attractive hanging baskets on view at many houses round the village. Hopefully, this year, Joy will be overwhelmed with entries!
MeadowSong Concert at Long Meadow – tickets are still available for this on the evening of Saturday July 6. Please contact Joy Payne on 01844 208513.
Retirement Party – Jean Johnson
In the time honoured tradition of the village, The Bell friends and regulars gathered to say” goodbye” to Jean who has been in The Bell kitchen for over 9 years. Informal ceremonies have been held in the bar over the years to mark many occasions, particularly birthdays, but the retirement of Jean from The Bell was a first. Jean originally came when Sue and Peter Grimsdell ran The Bell, but she continued when Ollie and Sharon took over 6 years ago to become a loyal, reliable and hardworking member of staff, looked on as part of the family, through good and bad times. Flowers and gifts were given to Jean in appreciation of her time at The Bell. She can now look forward to returning as a customer.
Fete – my thanks to everyone who has donated so generously to the jewellery and accessory stall for the fete by leaving little bags of goodies on my doorstep and to one lady in particular who has given a great deal. It should be a great stall to visit!

Best of British Fete Day - Saturday June 29 from 1pm on and around The Green
A great day is planned. All villagers and visitors are welcome to come and enjoy all the fun of a traditional Best of British fete. The Green will be fenced off and the road by the Pub closed, so it will be a safe, and secure site. Parking in a nearby field will be available. Entry is free. There will be many stalls selling bric-a-brac, cakes, plants, books, cds, jewellery and accessories, toys, bottle tombola. Also a barbeque, fete games, cream teas, drinks and icecreams from the shop, bouncy castle, games and sports for the children, The Animal man, sheep shearing. Make sure you buy tickets for the Grand Raffle which has many good, worthwhile prizes, either beforehand from The Bell or the shop, or on the day. There will be lots going on all the time including an opportunity to see how church bells are rung and to have a go in the small bell tower in The Bell car park. So, don’t miss out. The Bell will be open all day. For the evening entertainment, there will be music for dancing and a fish and chip supper. All that can’t be planned will be the weather, but the fete will be held whether there is sun or rain – a very British day! For any questions or concerns about the Fete, please contact Angela Gray on 01844 202105 or email angela@grayemail.co.uk

Workaid
Unwanted tools and equipment are collected from all over the UK and refurbished by a team of dedicated volunteers at their workshop.
The refurbished tools are then sent to vocational training projects where they help vulnerable and disadvantaged people to learn trade skills and start their own businesses.
Each year, WORKAID helps over 9,000 people to break the cycle of poverty and rebuild their lives.
They assist projects working with orphans, street children, unemployed teenagers, disabled people, people living with HIV/AIDS, widows and refugees.
If you have been spring-cleaning your shed and would like to donate unwanted tools (even bicycles), please drop them off at Cloverdale, Lower Green Lane, where they will be taken to WORKAID.
Thank you

Donations for all stalls are still needed and if you haven’t yet bought any raffle tickets, they are on sale in The Bell and the shop – there are some good prizes to win.
