ST.BARTHOLOMEW’S CHURCH: At the local church on Sunday 13th May, “Holy Communion” will be the order of service.
The service starts at 9:30am and everyone is welcome.
GATE INN UPDATE: After a lengthy and emotional meeting, it has been decided that Mitchell & Graham Management Limited (MGM) will cease trading on the 31st May, or until we have insufficient wet stock to open, and the Gate Inn will close. MGM have earnestly tried over the last few months to keep things going, always with the hope that footfall would increase, especially as we head towards summer. Sadly this just hasn’t happened. Kieran, Hayley and Paula would like to thank all the Investors who put their faith in MGM and regret their loss of investment, but more importantly feel they have let their friends down. They would also like to thank all the villagers who used and enjoyed the pub and hope that they will have fond memories to take forward.
Paula, Kieran and Hayley (MGM)

A talk commenced on the art of container planting of veg / herbs and shrubs various. This was accompanied by a Powerpoint presentation with invited audience interjection from the floor. This proved a very successful format for the evening, with some of those present already implementing the ideas and advice given, some keen to try new ideas from the evenings programme. On completion of the talk, the speaker invited questions from the floor, which were all answered to the groups satisfaction.
The evening was brought to a close and refreshments served, the speaker mingled with the group offering advice if needed. A very informative evening. Further information about the club and its activities available from Elaine Hauser on 07969 254 920. Members old and new always welcome.
