Jill Meekings

Sadly Jill lost her fight against cancer and passed away peacefully at home in the arms of Greg, Kiran and James on Friday 14th March. She made a major contibution to the village through her role as Chairman of the Parish Council. She was also inspirational in the work she did raising awareness of Breast Cancer and funds for Breakthrough. There will be a Celebratory Memorial service for her in April. Call Greg for details.

Car Parking at the Station

Police have been issuing Notices to people who park on the main road down from the Station. This appears to have dissuaded drivers from parking in this dangerous location.

123 Club

Local mums (and grandmums etc!) may be interested to hear that the 123 Club has moved! Having enjoyed many happy years at the Cricket Pavilion, it was felt that it was time for a change and the new Church Room is certainly proving to be a hit, both for the mums and their tots! We look forward to providing many more new mums with the opportunity to meet others in their situation. We hope that our exciting new venue will help us to sustain a local forum for new mums to get to know each other and hopefully to lay foundations for their tots to grow up with close friends in and around the village. Denise Todd on behalf of the 123 Club.
