GARDENING CLUB: There was an excellent attendance at the meeting on Tuesday 4th October to hear Dr Andrew Ward of Norwell Nurseries give an excellent illustrated talk about delightful Daisies. Daisies are more interesting than you may think and the group learned that some that look like daisies are not and other that don’t look like daisies are. The next meeting is on 1 November when Don Witton will talk about Winter Survival Kit.
PIPES AND DRUMS: Retford and District Pipes and Drums still have a few vacancies for people who are interested in music.

COW PIE: The Gate Inn has set a challenge to its customers. Thursday night is Pie Night at the local hostelry, but this is no ordinary pie, it’s a cow-pie weighing in at an impressive 2.2lbs filled with Beef topside and has already proved a challenge to some of the big eaters in and around the area. Can you eat one? Watch out for the stampede!
HALLOWEEN PARTY: A Halloween party is being organised by the Village Hall committee. The event will take place on Saturday 29th October in the Village Hall. There will be the usual Halloween activities and fancy dress of course, with prizes for the best fancy dress outfits.

PIMP YOUR PUMPKIN: To coincide with the Halloween Party, the Village Hall Committee have come up with another idea. Pimp your Pumpkin – decorate the street with your pumpkins. Open to all householders, again prizes for best decorated pumpkins. Chance for mums and dads to show the kids how it used to be done.
