Hello All and Welcome to October's KYN Update.
Before we get on with the village news, we have had a note
from Seal Parish Council, to let everybody know that GP surgeries are extending
their hours. This is to improve access for people who have struggled to
take time away from work, school, etc. Please check your own surgery website,
to see how access is improved for you.
As ever, the scarecrows (many of which are still with us),
have put smiles on the faces of people as they pass through our village. We
changed the system a little this year, by giving you the chance to vote for
your own favourites. The votes were counted last night, at Seal Church's
Harvest Supper, and the winner was Seal Beavers' Campers on Church Street
Green. Many other votes were made, and no entry was passed by with no votes at
all. However, the Beavers won by quite a way. Congratulations to them - a great
entry!
Watch out for next year's festival, as there will more
changes still. We are setting up a Facebook page with photos of all entries,
and voting can take place on FB. For those who do not engage in social media,
you will still be able to take the trail and vote as this year. Many thanks to
those of you who got involved, and entered a scarecrow, and to those of you who
voted.
Just a little aside, a few scarecrows were vandalised
( though successfully operated on). and one was actually kidnapped
(crownapped??) and was found dumped in Childsbridge Lane. He was taken to
safety to Seal School, but I'm not sure that we found the poor chap's creator
in time for the judging. However, as always, the perpetrator of these acts,
probably had less fun carrying out their attacks, than we did enjoying these
creations. Whoever he or she is, is a very brave soul, or possibly never read
Worzel Gummage!
The Harvest Supper and Quiz, was a great evening - excellent
food, good quizzing, and lots of laughter! What more could you want on a rainy
Saturday night in October. The event raised £362 for St Peter and St Paul
Church Away Giving.
Our brand new care home, Lavender Fields, is now well and
truly open, and the staff and residents are getting involved in our community.
You will have noticed their beautiful scarecrow, STRICTLY KAREN (modeled on
Karen ,the Manager of Lavender Fields allegedly). It would be great if some of
you could join the small team of volunteers, already visiting, or planning to
visit, the residents in this beautiful home. Of course, DBS checks will be
essential, but the staff at Lavender Fields will organise this for you. If you
are interested, either give them a call, or e mail me.
