Celebrate the Bank Holiday Weekend in the Village!
Have you been to the pub yet to say hello to the new manager Gus and his lovely partner Virginia?
At the moment the pub will be open 5 days a week – Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 4pm – 11pm, and Saturday and Sunday, noon till 11pm.
However as it’s a Bank holiday on Monday the pub will also be open from noon until 11pm on Monday. On Saturday they’ll be serving pie and mash in the evening, on Sunday a full roast and on Monday its just snacks.
Staffing the pub is now the priority so please do get in touch if you are interested with Gus or Dillie – gusrevans@gmail.com or dilliedarling@gmail.com
Wedding Bells in the Village this Saturday!
It’s great to see things getting back to normal and Robert & Jill Harper can finally hold the wedding for their daughter that has been delayed due to Covid. Emma is marrying Alex Keeble in the church on Saturday at 2pm. Afterwards, circa 3pm, they will be having a photo session in The Pound. So listen out for the bells of celebration and if you are out and about, give them a wave to wish them well for the future.

Does anyone have a glass Vat for Noccino making, that they would be happy to lend to the church for an event that is being planned? If so please contact Alice via email alicegoodall313@gmail.com
The Shelswell Group of Church Parishes runs a children’s holiday club in the summer and they are hoping people will register their children. Details below:
