Congratulations and thanks to all who made Saturday's playground building such a happy and productive day. Thanks to the labour, donations, kit and food, all supplied by villagers, much was achieved in a short space of time.
Special thanks go to Dave Mitchell of D.M. Tree Services for the donation of a massive beech tree trunk and to Mike Gooderham for hauling it into place!!
Hope all the aching limbs have recovered!

Trees and drought - a timely reminder from the Tree Council

Trees need watering – by rain or by people – about three times a month from April to the end of September. The Tree Council has issued a stark reminder that by the time we can see the effects of water shortage on our tree population, it will probably be too late to save most. Its Tree Care Campaign challenges members of the public who have a tree on their land or nearby to make a real difference to tree survival this year. Information on spotting a tree with drought stress and the top ten tips on watering trees in a drought can be downloaded here.
All anyone has to do is save some of their waste water and take it to the tree in a watering can or recycled container. Poured slowly so that the water can permeate through the surface or else into a watering tube that has been buried beside the tree at the time of planting, this could make all the difference to the life chances for our trees.

Thank you to everyone who helped out this morning removing a year's worth of rubbish from our verges and hedgerows..
There was definitely not as much junk this year which is a good sign!
Thanks again.

The Thornhams Trustees
Jumble Sale
Made the grand sum of £473.60
It was great that so many people in the villages contributed.
A big Thank You to everyone who provided jumble, and to the band of helpers who spent all day sorting, selling and then packing away.
We had mountains of items to sell and luckily when we arrived at the hall after lunch the road was full of cars and a long queue had formed waiting to come in - the hall was rammed.
Special thanks to Siobhan whose posters are becoming works of art, to Kate our local antiques expert who made sure we weren't selling any Ming vases for 20p, and to Priscilla for spending hours counting all the 20ps!
