NORTH LUFFENHAM VILLAGE DAY – 2016

BACKGROUND

 At a meeting of Parish Councillors held on 29th Jun following the PC elections, it was agreed that the continuing nurturing and development of ‘community spirit’ within the village should be an important part of the PC’s role. It was considered that one way of achieving this was to hold a ‘fun’ event, possibly annually, at which all villagers could be involved.  Every Group/Club active in the village or impacting upon village life would be invited to participate. This would help to foster village spirit; a sense of ‘belonging’ and an increased awareness of what the village offered.

 We are now looking for volunteers to join a Committee to discuss how  best to take this initiative forward. The likely date for the event will be Saturday 11th June, which would coincide with HM The Queen’s Official 90th Birthday Celebrations. If you would like to be part of this initiative please give Paul Cummings a call: 01780 720124

Unfortunately the Village Working Party scheduled for  Saturday 12th September has been postponed, a new date will be published as soon as it is known.

Apologies to all those who were planning to take part

Village Working Party – Saturday 12th September – Postponed

Hi

the Village Working Party day scheduled for Saturday 12th September has had to be postponed.

Apologies to all those who were looking forward to a therapeutic tidy up

 

Have you ever looked around the village and thought, “I wonder who tidied that up”, or seen an area that was becoming a bit bedraggled and thought “someone needs to sort that out, I wonder who looks after it”

The answer on both occasions is quite possibly the village working party  – a group of volunteers who gather when necessary to tidy up some of the less loved corners of the village and maintain some of the nicer spots we appreciate

Next opportunity to take part in this social activity will be on Saturday 12th September, and so if you are happy to undertake some basic maintenance – weeding, painting, litter picking etc to help maintain the look of North Luffenham, and have some time you are willing to donate on the day, then contact Charles Cade or meet at the Cricket Pavillion at 9am on the Saturday morning.
