Christmas Meal 2002
Conservation Work Day Unfortunately on the last event there was virtually no help forthcoming from the village for either Kathryn or her two voluntary wardens and so not only was it quite soul destroying for our group, but it also meant that no progress could be made on such items as the new path. Please do try to give the village some support even if it is only for half an hour or so. All the work that is being done is for the benefit of the village and therefore indirectly of benefit to its residents. As usual, the day will start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at about 12:00 noon. The meeting points are the bus turnaround or the lower village car park.

Sad News (November 2002) Our thoughts go out to her family and anyone who knew her at this sad time.
Village Funds (October (2002)
It has also been suggested that we buy a lock-up of some sort (e.g. a strong shed) so that we could store such items and loan them out to village residents for a small sum to cover the eventual cost of their replacement. If you have any other ideas, or could suggest a secure area on which to put such a village store, please contact any village committee member. Also, if you object to any of the above suggestions then please say so and let us know why.
Walmersley Old Road (September
2002) We have been speaking with our MP, David Chaytor, and have made contact with a group at Holcombe who have recently experienced similar problems with a cobbled road in their area. This should prove a very useful source of advice. We will keep you informed of any developments.

Residents' requests (September
2002) One householder who owns a garage at the bottom village car park is suffering from a dog or dogs fouling on their private parking/garage area and have asked if dog owners could please be alert and not allow their dog to foul in this area. The other more general request concerns the road beyond the Lord Raglan
car park. The grass verges along this road are becoming very heavily soiled
with dog faeces to such an extent that it is impossible to walk along
the grass in some areas. Please remember that it is your responsibility
to clear up after your dog and just because it fouls along an open stretch
of road does not mean that you do not have to clean up. This road is used
by walkers, families, local villagers and many groups and it is unfair
to spoil the area for others.
Social events (September 2002)
|
The
weather was kind to us this year and a pleasant evening was had by all
with a magnificent bonfire and a display of fireworks. Special thanks
to Dave Smith for all his hard work in transporting a lot of wood
down to the site of the bonfire and to Lee Ingrouille for setting off
the fireworks.
The menus
have now been distributed for this year's Christmas Meal and a special
thanks must go to Caitlin and Elinor Cooper for their production of a
very festive and professional looking leaflet. Tim will be providing the
disco and there will be plenty of prizes for the raffle.
