Another
Fair over, and again a beautiful sunny day, looking at
the accounts (page
13) an extremely profitable
Fair as well. Sue has asked me to thank all who kindly
donated bottles for the bottle stall yet again a very
successful stall. Well done to all concerned again, lets
hope next year is going to be as good. Don’t forget
next year is the 799th Fair! Start thinking now of
something extra special for the 800th. Let a committee
member know if you have any ideas or even join yourself
and help. AGM July 21 please go along and add your
support. Congratulations must go to the Ex Reach Ladies
Darts Team, who now play out of the Black Horse in
Swaffham Bulbeck, they have again won their winter league
title keep up the good darts girls, and you will get
another mention next year. Congratulations must also go
to our newly weds Peter and Claudia Burton of Great Lane,
good luck for the future, and to continue,
congratulations go also to Janet Collins for her adult
learner award - well done Janet. (pages 10/11). We welcome all newcomers to the village, I
noticed quite a few new faces as I went around and
collected the bottles for the Fair this year, have a good
look through the Out of Reach and decide which committee
you feel best suits you!! no only kidding, but do please
try and join in with all the fun that has been organised
this summer. As you will see from the ‘Dates for
your Diary’ (page 7) it has been
decided that the Bottle and Can evenings on a Friday
night will cease the reason for this is as a warm up to
hopefully the pub re-opening soon and the longer summer
evenings. If for any reason these evenings are needed
they will start again in September. Don’t forget the
quiz nights though they will continue either in the hall
or in the pub. Having just spent three weeks on sick
leave after the operation on my knee and not being able
to drive I realise what a strain it must be on the older
folk in the village and others who are unable to drive.
Please if you can help or even just pop round for a cup
of tea I am sure your help or visit will be greatly
appreciated by those who remain here. However at least
the buses are a bit better now, note as from May 30 buses
will be coming through the village on Sundays and Bank
Holidays. The Millennium, I bet you are getting fed up
with that word by now, I know I am, still not much longer
to go now and hopefully it won’t be mention again
for a thousand years. (not my problem then). Anyway
Grahame Miller is trying to get the book together so
could you please phone him or go and see him with all
your bits and pieces as soon as possible.(page 33). You will also be receiving a Millennium Night
celebration form please fill it in and return it to
Grahame as soon as possible to make this evening go with
a bang. Thanks. Well that's another Out of Reach put to
bed, as they say, lets have lots of bits in for the next
one cover date 15th July. This date is essential as the
magazine must be at the printers by Monday 19th July of
course before this date will be great. Late flash - Watch
your milk bottles they are being stolen from your
doorsteps! |
