             RUNNING FOR OVER
       T 50 YEARS to provide a monthly get
       together for this very valued section of our          HE WEATHER IS BETTER NOW THAN WE HAD OVER THE BREAK,
       community.                                            so we are enjoying lots of outside play (with our sun hats, sun cream

       We hope to restart again in October and the      Tand plenty of water) and with thoughts of how we can prepare our
       present committee, helpers and members           pathway and garden area for Autumn and Winter colour.
       would welcome anyone with energy,
       enthusiasm and new ideas to join us to
       discuss how to keep and develop this Village
       Organisation for the next 50 years.

       As an “ageing” committee ourselves, we
       are looking for some fresh bodies to join us,
       that we can eventually hand over the reins.
       Without this, we are unsure how long it can
       be sustained in its current form.
       If anyone feels they would like to know a
       little bit more about this great club please
       drop in to our next meeting on Wednesday
       13th October between 1 – 3pm at the
       Village hall and see how it works.  v
