Waste and Recycling

The Parish Council has been informed that for the foreseeable future, bins and recycling will need to be available for collection from 6am on the usual day of collection. Green bins were not mentioned but probably best to assume the same. We were also told that due to holidays and sickness there is a greater chance of missed bins, if that happnens to you please report it as usual and leave outside until it is picked up or you are informed otherwise.

Pen Fete

Good afternoon everyone
,
We will be holding the penultimate fete meeting in the Penselwood Village Hall on Friday 19th June at 7.30.
We are still looking for people to run the BBQ and ice cream stands- it would be a shame not to have them this year!
We have some amazing raffle prizes already but are always looking for more.
I very much look forward to seeing you all on the 19th.

Moldrams Ground Village Hall Event

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their services and help on Saturday afternoon, 18th April at the village hall, and to those providing the donations of goods and consumables which made it all possible.

And especial gratitude to our village folk, and visitors from beyond, who made the effort to attend and so generously support the Nature Reserve with their contributions.

Together, we achieved an amazing result. Well done to all.

Cheers, Alan.

Spring litter pick

What a glorious day for a litter pick! Lots of people turned out to collect litter and enjoyed some refreshments afterwards in the village hall. Great to report that in general there seemed to be less litter around than last year. Salters hill once again produced the most, including some items of brand new clothing with tags on which seemed odd.
Well done to everyone who helped, it really makes a difference.
