Poynings Cricket Club

Sean Spicer joins Poynings Cricket Club as PR Chief



Poynings Cricket Club has moved quickly to hire Sean Spicer, the former White House press secretary, as the club’s new Director of Communications.

Mr Spicer, who caused controversy with his ill-tempered Washington press briefings, has already ruffled feathers in his opening meeting with journalists at the Cricket Field in front of 10,000 supporters.

He quit his White House role unexpectedly recently as President Donald Trump moved to bring in a smooth new operator in his place.

But that opened the door for Poynings Cricket Club, and they are already seeing the benefits the new hire’s extravagant claims.

Mr Spicer told hushed Poynings journalists today: “Season ticket sales have hit 24,000 and we expect to play in front of crowds of 27,000 this season,” he claimed.

“In fact, we will have the highest gates on record. Period.”

“After we got thrashed by the local team recently, in part due to the great innings by a local farmer, we have now spent tens of millions on new players, and next week we will unveil a £15 million new opening batsman, just like we said we would.”

“Our wicket keeper is not going to be sold, the fielding was out of this world, and we’ll be giving our youth players a real chance this year.”

Spicer saved some of his famous spite for journalists until the end of the briefing, when the Poynings News editor tried to ask a question about ticket prices.

“Poynings News? Fake news. It’s worse than CNN” he said. “There is no room for this Fake News Media anymore.”

GP Services – Extended Access Survey 2017

Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) plan and buy healthcare services for the local population in your area.

National funding is available from 2018 to improve access to GP services. This includes ensuring that everyone has more convenient access to GP services, including a mixture of same day and routine appointments on weekday evenings after 6.30pm, and at weekends based on local needs. This piece of work is known as ‘delivering extended access to GP services’.

As local CCGs we are currently considering how best to deliver extended access in your area so that it meets the needs of our population, is realistically deliverable within the budget we have been allocated to provide this additional service. There is a national and local shortage of GPs and other clinicians who work in general practice. This means that extended access services could be provided at a venue other than your own surgery and that you may not see your own GP or even a GP from your usual practice. Should that GP need to access your medical records, your consent will be sought when you book the appointment.

The CCGs would like to find out more about your views on extending access to GP services in the evenings and at weekends.

By completing the survey you have the opportunity to tell us:

• How likely you are to use GP appointments in the evenings and weekends.

• The kind of services you might want to use in the evenings and at weekends.

• Whether you would consider alternatives to face to face consultations.

 

 

The survey only takes a couple of minutes to complete. Here is the link:

Road Works

Hi

You may have noticed the roadworks in the village.

The Parish Council have managed to obtain a grant from WSCC to help alleviate flooding in the village, it won’t stop it all but it should help. This continued from a grant obtained previously.

Hopefully, if more grants are available and a case can successfully be made, further work can be carried out in the future.

Colin
