A BIG thank you to all involved in organising the village fete on Sunday. The sun shone and an enjoyable time was had by hundreds of people. A record amount of money was taken to enable the village hall to continue

THIS Saturday, the junior school on the Common is having a summer fayre with lots of stalls to visit and plenty to see. See the many posters around the village for more details.

Saturday afternoon, the Village Produce Association (The Gardening Club) is holding its summer show in the village hall on the Common. Members are reminded to bring their entries in the morning. The show is opened to the general public at 2.30pm. Prizes to be awarded at 4.30pm. Please support and come and visit or it will become history.

THIS week marks the leaving of Nigel and Pauline Stowe from their ministry of Christ Church Holmer Green, and Penn Street. Their long time in Holmer Green will make them sorely missed. We wish them a long, happy and peaceful retirement, doing what they want to do.

ON Friday, at 8pm, is the Scout Group annual barn dance. It is being held at Langford Meadow, Watchet Lane and tickets cost £6. Dancing is to a live band named JIP. This is one of our main fundraisers. Please villagers, come and support us. There is no need to dance, just enjoy a drink and barbecue in the open air it's good weather usually.
