Reminder – Dogs In Sheep Fields
There have been several people seen with dogs off their leads in fields around the village with grazing sheep.
As a reminder, we are in lambing season and dogs should not be allowed off the lead in fields that have livestock in them (or will do in the future)
Also all dog poo should be picked up in fields, as there is a risk to sheep of infection with fatal diseases (Gid and Sheep Measles) carried in dog faeces.

Unfortunately the chip van will not be in the village tonight due to vehicle maintenance

GoFund Me Page For Jamaica
Support Jamaica, from Amari and Jaimi (fellow North Luffenham residents)
We have set up a GoFundMe page with one of us being of Jamaican heritage, to support our family and friends who have been terribly affected by the hurricane.
We are only providing donations to those we personally know who have lost their entire homes which are located in the St Elizabeth area of Jamaica – one of the worse affected areas.
If you could kindly share and donate anything – it will be very helpful and will go a long way.
I know we can’t do much, but we also couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. So any help will be appreciated and is going to people in serious need – having lost everything just before Christmas too.
Many thanks
