5-a-side pitch
Please remember that although the 5-a-side area on the playing field is fenced in – it is there to be used by
anyone! If the gate is closed, don’t worry – just open it and play!
Footpath widening
The Trust is planning to widen the footpath on the field which runs parallel to the valley. If anyone would like to
volunteer their time to help dig away the grass that has encroached onto the path it would be much appreciat-
ed! Please call me on 811101 if anyone would like to help.
Your Village Hall needs you!
If anyone living in the village would like to become a Trustee and help to run this wonderful building please call
or email me (details below).
