As there is so much going on at the
moment, I have decided to send an extra update to Know Your Neighbours. The
first 2 items, are from our Parish Council, who, as you may understand, are
having a particularly busy time right now. So, here goes:-
FYI
Further
to the occupation of the Seal Recreation Ground, the Seal District Councillors
and the Parish Clerk accompanied by 2 police officers went around all 24
caravans/campers to serve request to leave notices. Most were polite and there
will be some repairs making good required and tidying up to do when they leave.
The notice gives 24hrs notice and if they haven’t moved off the site legal
proceedings will be taken. In the mean time the Parish Council advise not to go
to the recreation ground.
Secondly,
DO YOU
USE YOUR COMMUNITY HALLS?
HOW DO YOU USE THEM? HOW COULD YOU USE THEM DIFFERENTLY?
Seal Parish Council are conducting a survey on the use of the local community halls - the Village Hall, the Pavilion and the Church Hall (the first two are run by the Parish Council, the third by the church) You can find the survey here. Please complete this if you can, particularly if you are not going to be able to visit
the Village Hall on the bank holiday weekend of May 4th-6th, for the U3A Art
Exhibition. This will be a very interesting activity anyway, but there will
also be a chance to speak to some of your Parish Councillors, about our
community hall facilities.
On a
different note, Seal Parish Council will be electing their officers on May 2nd.
Please see their website for more information.
On
Thursday May 15th, you will also have the opportunity to meet and speak to your
new Parish Council, at the Annual Parish Meeting, which will take place in Seal
Pavilion at 7.30pm. The Council will be presenting its annual Community award, so please come along to congratulate this year's winner!

The 100
Club is now running at 47 participants, so gradually rising month on month. This will make for a healthy total to be spent on village
projects, whether events, activities, or any other form of enhancement. Please
let me know if you wish to purchase a number for £5 each month.
We are
still looking for a Treasurer for our Village Fund, so please be on the look
out for any likely candidates. The 100 Club will run much more easily when
people can set up standing orders if they wish to.
The Spring
Clean went really well on April 7th, with many of you, young and not so young,
turned out in force to clear up our village. Many people have commented that
this is something we might be able to repeat at more regular intervals, so that
it isn't such an arduous task.
Our Seal
Talking Village goes from strength to strength, with the chance to meet up with
others regularly, on Monday afternoons in Birch's (1.45-2.45), Thursday
Mornings at Seal Tiddlers in the Church Hall (10am-midday), Friday mornings at
Friday Group in the Church Hall (10am-midday) and Saturday mornings in Seal
Library (10am-11am). A big 'Thank you' to our hosts at these events.
IF YOU
WOULD LIKE TICKETS FOR THE TRIP TO BROADSTAIRS ON AUGUST 16TH, PLEASE LET ME
KNOW.
I don't
think there is anything else to report, but please get you information in to me
so that we can put it out in these regular updates.
Best
Wishes,
Marion.
