JUNE PEN PAPER

Please may I have any articles, event notices, event reports, photographs and any and all other contributions for the June Pen Paper by 15th May please.

This will be the Pen Paper preceding the Village Fete, Flower & Produce Show in August so perfect for promoting these and perhaps, requests from stallholders for stock.

Any new ideas for improving or adding to the Pen Paper are very welcome.

Planned power outage Friday 19th April so no Black Bin Café

Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks have a power cut Friday 19th April affecting the whole village. They plan to turn power off at 08.30 and should finish by 16.30 if not sooner. You have probably already had a leaflet from SSEN in your mail box. This is in order for contractors to trim/prune trees affecting our overhead cables.

Sadly this means NO BLACK BIN CAFE. The next Black Bin Café will be on Friday 3rd May.

Village Litter Pick

A big thank you to the 22 people who turned out to litter pick on Saturday morning. Thankfully the weather was fine so a good tidy up has been done before the hedges and verges spring fully into growing mode. Many areas were not too bad but as usual Salters hill remains a litter hotspot. Disappointing for residents of Pear Ash were the numbers of dog poo bags left in trees or by the side of the road.

Well done…

Information has come in quite late but Wessex Water will be in Pen Selwood next week, from Monday 4th March with three crews to fix three leaks.

More tents for the Fete

Too late for the Pen Paper just distributed, I am able to report that money was voted at the recent PCA meeting to spend on infrastructure to support the fete and other events on the field. This is in addition to the money raised towards a new tent at the French Evening. A start has now been made with the PCA ordering a tent the same size as the present ‘village tent’, 4m x 8m.

Separately and coincident with this,…

Black Bin Cafe dates

The dates for the Black Bin Café given in the December Pen Paper are wrong. Dates were changed after it had gone to press.

The correct dates are 19th January, 2nd and 16th February, 1st and 15th March but by then the March Pen Paper should be out with correct and additional dates.
