Thanks
to the 'Litter Pickers'
If you didn't see the teams walking round the
village with their big black sacks on Saturday, you probably will have noticed
the results of their efforts - not a piece of litter to be seen! As part of our
entry for the Surrey Best Kept Village competition, our thanks go to Frank Edwards
and team for arranging this super effort. It's now up to us all to keep it looking
good….
A story of some intrepid
sailors!
After winning the bidding at the successful "Breakthrough" charity auction for
a day's' sailing with the Howe family in the Solent, Jimmy, Diane, Tim and Sarah
Hearn and their guests, Tom and Camilla Pedley arrived at the Hamble on a grey
and windy June 2nd morning to tackle the elements. Fortunately, the weather improved
(a bit) and a good Force 4/5 enabled a fast sail to Yarmouth for lunch and a trip
ashore. The sail back was fast and uneventful except there were some complaints
from the galley team protesting at washing up at 40 degrees! Back in the
Hamble the younger family members had some rowing and outboarding lessons which
resulted in the inevitable - Tom falling in the very cold river but he climbed
out quickly and got straight back into the boat he'd just fallen out of. Well
done Tom! Picture shows Jimmy Hearn, Camilla Pedley and Sarah Hearn steering
Swan 41By-Pass.
Latest tally for
the Breakthrough Breast Cancer Fundraiser…………£11,496.50
The total
raised by Jill Meekings for Breakthrough continues to rise! The wine tasting/auction
of promises raised a magnificent £5,337 and other sponsorship for the Nepal trek
now stands at over £6,000. Even though the trek was successfully completed in
February, the money continues to come in. Jill's trekking group raised over £125,000
which will all go to fund Breast Cancer Research. Thank you Woldingham for being
so generous! That's all for now. But don't forget the Table Top Sale in
aid of the Scout Hut Appeal next Saturday (16th June) 11 a.m. in the Village Hall!
