Best wishes for a full recovery to Jim Campbell, Gwen Simons and Jim Lakey who have all been unwell recently.   

 

Welcome to two new families moving into the village, to Jane and Emma at Welkin Farm Cottage and to Jim and Sarah at Brimham.  We hope you enjoy living in Easenhall.

 

Many thanks to everyone for your help with the recent Plant Sale, and to the crew who served refreshments all day in the village hall.      The chilly weather perhaps meant fewer visitors, but we were able to make a grand profit of £600 for village funds.

 

The Best Kept Village Competition is coming up fast and judging will be in the next couple of weeks.      Work on the pavilion has taken precedence this year, but if you can manage to trim hedges next to the pavements, this will make a big difference to our chance of winning our  section.   John Cross has been busy with a couple of extra mowing sessions on the village greens.                     

 

The Race Night was greatly enjoyed by everyone, many thanks to everyone who was able to participate.     Fund from this event will be given to the cricket pavilion repair fund.

 

Our next event for this cause will be the Car Boot Sale on the Cricket Field on Sunday July 12^th.    Entry for booters is £5 if pre-booked by the Wednesday prior, £6 on the day.  Is it time to rummage in the garage, or to clear out those cupboards and bookshelves?

The gate will be open to booters at 7.30 a.m.(not before!), and open to the public at 9 am (£1 per car entry).    Refreshments will be on sale.  Bookings and enquiries can be made with either Carole Lakey on 832454, Ann Jevons on 832433 or Margaret Campbell on 832268, with your car registration number.

 

Easenhall Horticultural Show & Fete Saturday September 5th 2009      Calling all gardeners, cooks and children:  Do you grow flowers, vegetable, fruit or houseplants?  Do you make jams, cakes or biscuits?  Do you arrange flowers? Do you enjoy competitions?  Why not enter the Annual Open Show at Easenhall this year?   Just ask for a free schedule at the paper shop in Brinklow,  Malt Kiln Farm shop or phone 832268.

Schedules as usual on the doorstep of the Moorings, Main Street in the near future..   To help with paperwork let us know by the Friday what you are likely to enter, then bring your exhibits on the morning of Saturday September 5^th and come along in the afternoon to join the fun of the fete.  We are hoping that lots of men are having a go at the popular Men's Cookery competition -    a Pizza to the recipe provided.   

Other attractions this year include the popular Novelty Dog Show, entries on the day at the show ring.    Do you own the dog with the waggiest tail? The one most like its owner?  The best behaved dog or the best veteran?    We are expecting Mr. and Mrs Oddsocks who will provide children’s entertainment; Mrs. Oddsocks will be painting faces.   A bouncy castle will be part of the sideshows and games, together with Tombola, books, raffle,  various other stalls and delicious homemade cakes and teas.

Parish Council    The next Parish Council meeting will be held in the village hall on  16th July  at 6.30 pm. All welcome to attend.

 

Neighbourhood Watch   There has been a lot of activity lately in this area, so please check your security.     Burglars broke a window at Stretton on Dunsmore to steal the key left in the door lock, let themselves in and caused considerable damage before stealing various electronic equipment.

At Stretton under Fosse a stable block was broken into and horse equipment was stolen, together with two Ifor Williams tilt trailers.

The other information we have is in regard to a black BMW with three men inside who are suspected of several distraction burglaries.   Any sightings of  suspicious vehicles should be made to your Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators, Bryan Worth on 832853, Carole Lakey on 832454 or Margaret Campbell on 832268 (note down registration numbers if possible)

You don't have to be a farmer to join Young Farmers! In fact, you don't even need to know one end of a cow from t'other (though we wouldn't advise standing too close to the end with a tail ....)
