SEAL VILLAGE HALL NEWS

You may remember that last year, we were searching for a team of volunteers, to help out with the running of Seal Village Hall. The Management Committee had reached a stage where the lack of support with the general running of the hall, was leading to its possible closure. The search led to a group being set up - Friends of Seal Village Hall - who committed to helping the management committee (which was grown and consolidated) with various specific projects as they arose.
Having spent much time discussing various projects, the Management Committee have decided to pursue 2 exciting projects to bring to the Village Hall this year. The first is something I know many of you have mentioned in the past - a pop-up community cinema. The second, is to look at a project which is provided by a group of actors, who bring a ready made production to community halls.
The Friends of Seal Village Hall are already considering how they might get involved in helping with these projects, but before they get too far with their planning, we would like to see how much interest there would be in either of these. Please could you take some time to consider whether you might support either of these projects if they were available to you, and respond via this email address.
We are pretty sure there is interest in the pop-up cinema, as it has been mentioned by many of you in recent feedback, but the committee would like to know there is sufficient support before committing too much in the way of funds, and, of course, effort. It is likely, therefore, that this will be the first of the projects to bring to our community.
Please let me know if you would be interested in coming along to such an event, or, even, to help with the organisation of it.
We all look forward to your responses.

SEAL PARISH ANNUAL ASSEMBLY THURSDAY MAY 15TH

Seal Pavilion at 7.30pm. All welcome.

GARDEN SAFARI REQUESTS

New gardens and raffle prizes + plants for the Seal Garden Safari
If you have a lovely garden in Seal, please contact me about opening it on Sunday 30 th June at the
next Garden safari. I would also like any spare raffle prizes and plants (house or garden) for the
safari. In the next few weeks … this is the ideal time to divide your perennials. The money raised this
year will be going to Cancer and Mind charities. In other years we have raised about £400 for the
raffle and plants which is about half of the money!
Thanks to the people who have already said YES to me!
Many thanks in advance

SEAL TOAD PATROL NEWS


Is it a leaf? Or a toad?!

The toad migration started very early this year, and in our first 3 weeks at Stone Street we have helped over 3,500 toads across the road. We are so grateful to the many drivers who drive through slowly and carefully, often asking us how many we’ve had, or pointing out a toad for us to pick up. Thank you! The weather has now turned rather cold for them, but there may be a surge in a week or two! So please do remember that the season is still in full swing, and even if there are no patrollers visible, there could be toads on the road. They can look just like leaves, so please take care!

Update Jan 13 2024

 Hello Everybody,

Welcome to this week's Know Your Neighbours newsletter. Apologies to those of you who had problems with last week's newsletter. I can only assume the copy and paste facility had become very fed up with me!

Christmas Lights.

Firstly, a massive thank you to those of you that came out in force last Saturday, and helped us to get the Christmas lights and tree down in the village. They are now all safely stowed away and ready for Christmas 2024!

To make sure we have a smooth transition for next year, it would be very helpful if we could have a very quick get together, of those people who would be willing to help in one of the following ways next year:-

Admin

Help with storage (in a public area)

Gather volunteers together.

There are other areas, but a short meeting with willing folk, would be very useful, so please let me know if you could be part of this team. Remember, it isn't many hours of work - it's just to facilitate a little light for a few weeks each year.

REGULAR VILLAGE ACTIVITIES AND INFO (This section is repeated every week, so please feel free to skip if you don't need it this week).

SEAL ECO CHURCH

Bring & Share lunch: 

 All are warmly invited to a Bring & Share Candlemas plant-based lunch at 12 noon on Sunday 28th January, in St P&P’s Seal church hall.

 As it’s Veganuary, we’re planning to share and enjoy vegan foods together. We know everyone will be making meat & dairy-free dishes sometimes, or even often, but if any recipe ideas are welcomed, there are a selection of books for loan, & some recommended recipes, on the EcoChurch table at the back of Seal church. By freely subscribing to veganuary.com, an online recipe book can also be yours at no cost!

There’s a sign-up sheet at the bank of church, in order to plan a balance of dishes & give us some idea of numbers for table setting, but anyone not managing to sign up will still be very warmly welcomed on the day, of course! 

Swap Table in December:

Thank you so much to all of you who supported our first “Help yourself/ Swap table” in Church early last month in any way. It was superb to receive so many donations, welcome new faces and hear from a few visitors about enjoying some new articles of clothing! 

    The household, toys and clothing left over, were received most enthusiastically by Kent Relief centre in Tunbridge Wells, which has an incredible team of volunteers sorting donations and providing both a huge area for refugees to choose items to freely take, and a crating up service for trucks taking vital goods to various points in Ukraine, funded by the organisation. They welcome all sorts of items, especially seasonally required clothes and bedding. They’re always short of volunteers, too, of course: www.kentrelief.org.uk.

KYN update August 2023

 Welcome to this week's Know Your Neighbours Update.

Hopefully, a few items this week to inspire a little interest for some, but I thought I'd use this space this week to give another shout of thanks to those Seal Yarnbombers (the knitting and crocheting group) to congratulate them on. not only setting up the beautiful Teddy Bears' Picnic Post Box Topper, but making it durable enough to withstand all the weather conditions we have coped with throughout July and most of this month so far! Fantastic job team, and we all look forward to see what Chris and her merry crew have up their sleeves for our next display!

TOMORROW! - SEAL OVER 60's - An Afternoon of Music and Tea -A Great Afternoon of Entertainment

THE NO 6 BUS IS BACK

Thank you to Angie Hall, who brought this to our attention. She has provided me with photographs of the timetables, but I am unable to reproduce them here. If you can't get to the website or bus stop, to see the timetables, please get in touch and I will forward to you. For example, it looks like buses leave Seal High Street for Sevenoaks Bus Station, Mondays to Fridays  at 39 minutes past the hour in the mornings,(9.39 onwards), so this is a very helpful addition to our service.

100 CLUB REMINDER

If you have been in touch to join the 100 Club, please remember to let me know when you have set up your standing order so that you can be entered into the August draw. We wouldn't want to miss you out if you have paid! marionjgilchrist@gmail.com 

We have had several people showing an interest in joining the 100 Club this month, which is great and we welcome them with open arms. Of course, this fund helps to light the village centre at Christmas, along with other areas in the village.The fund also finances other community projects, and is an invaluable way of keeping the balance afloat. However, we do now have to ask anybody in the scheme, to set up monthly standing orders, so that our team can keep on top of who is in the draw. Most participants find this easier for their own admin as well, so maybe win win!

SEAL DANCE FOR FUN FOR OVER 50s
 Luci has some spaces at this very popular weekly activity, on Tuesday mornings, 10.30 - 11.30  at Seal Village Hall.  It is pay as you go, so you literally only have to pay for the sessions you attend. Contact Luci 07748 008431 or lucinapleton@googlemail.com

 - www.heverfestival.co.uk to find that event/show, that will delight you this summer. A brilliant setting, and not too far to travel, for that special evening.

Know Your Neighbours update: July 2023

 Welcome to this week's Know Your Neighbours Update.

We are heading closer to that time where the schools, colleges and unis all break up, and, and our routine goes out of the window for a few weeks. In the meantime, life goes on, and to prove it, we held our July 100 Club Draw this morning at Friday Group.

We have a 2 new members of the pack, so next month we should be be drawing from 68 numbers, giving us a 1st prize of £100 and 2nd prize of £70. This puts a healthy £170 in the Seal Village Fund. If you wish to join this scheme, it means setting up a monthly standing order for £5 per number, and registering with me. If you are interested, please email me at marionjgilchrist@gmail.com, and I will send the joining instructions. This month, we drew from 66 numbers, so 1st prize of £100, 2nd of £65 and £165 in the fund.

FROM NOW ON, ALL MEMBERS OF THE SCHEME WILL HAVE TO PAY BY STANDING ORDER, AS WE HAVE REACHED A SITUATION WHERE WE CANNOT COPE WITH ODD PAYMENTS BEING MADE. WE DO HOPE YOU ARE OK WITH  THIS, AS IT IS QUITE A COMPLEX PROJECT TO SET UP, AND MAINTAINING THE SYSTEM ALSO TAKES A LOT OF PEOPLES' TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. 

The Seal Village Fund, finances such village projects as lighting the centre of the village at Christmas, other special village events, as and when they occur, and awards small amounts to village organisations to fund specific projects which have to be applied for at our AGMs in March of each year.

This month's winners are:-

1st prize no 50 Georgina Taylor

2nd prize no 12 - Annie Lewis (A lucky streak going on here!).

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH.

This week, I have included the Kent County Council newsletter. I won't do this regularly, but there did appear to be quite a few issues this week which may be of interest. If you are interested in receiving their regular updates, go to the KCC website and sign up for the residents' e-newsletter.

SEAL VILLAGE HALL

You may have seen the appeal for help to keep

our Village Hall open and thriving.

For several years now, only 2 gentlemen have been running this facility, with no proper committee to speak of.

We believe that as a community, we still need a hub in the centre of the village, to accommodate village organisations as well as activities run by local people to enhance the wellbeing of our community.

Thankfully, there has been some response to the notice outside the hall, but to ensure there is a well run, usable, popular hub in our village in the future, we need to see a good group of people willing to put themselves forward to help with this.

If enough people were to do a bit, this would not be an arduous task, and who knows?? You may make new friends and enjoy the challenge!

If you could spare just a little time, say an hour or two each month, please contact me marionjgilchrist@gmail.com and together with the current hall team, we will get a date to meet up to move ideas forward.  

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

NEWS FROM SEAL LIBRARY

We were sorry to hear that our lovely librarian, Jillian Marsh, has left the post. She will be greatly missed, as in a relatively short time with us, she has done so much to promote community in her role.She was always welcoming and positive, and worked so well to introduce new neighbours to our ever expanding group. We wish her well for her future.

A LITTLE LOCAL TRIVIA

Amidst the conversations this morning, the question arose of why our Kent insignia is of a white horse.

So - here is what Google has to say.

'The white horse of Kent is the old symbol for the Jutish Kingdom of Kent, dating from the 6th-8th century. The white horse relates to the emlem of Horsa, brother of Hengest, who, according to legend, defeated the King Vortigern near Aylesford.

CALLING ALL KNITTERS AND CROCHETERS

So, now we have seen what some of the village talent can achieve, by way of our magnificent pillar box topper, Chris is making a request - well in advance - for anybody to come forward, to

 make as many poppies as they possibly can please. She says the more the merrier, as we will be needing an awful lot of this this November, so if you get started now, we will be in with a

 chance of receiving sufficient. I believe these will be used on the pillar box, and to decorate our church for Remembrance Sunday too. Chris says, you can use any pattern you can find - always

 good to have some diversity - but abundance is the keyword. Sounds like this will be another terrific show.
