There is an unclaimed raffle prize of smoked salmon, and no-one knows who won it!
They were told to collect it from the fridge but never did. As they were there for the draw, no-one took a name!
If it’s yours, don’t leave it too long, come and get it!!!!!

Further to my appeal in the November Newsletter (hard copy), we now have a small group of volunteers.
Part of the plan is to create a ‘Small Charitable Organisation’, complete with trustees and a bank account in order to receive any grants that we may need to apply for to improve the village.
We still need people of all ages, with various abilities, skills and contacts, with the intention of establishing a suitable communications network.
If you are interested please email Sheila – sheilamarshall500@gmail.com .
