Welcome to this week’s Know Your Neighbours Update.
Hopefully, everybody is settling down now to a new kind of normality, and we are all beginning to navigate our way around our own normality. Somebody will tell me what mine is one day!
So - on to this week's village news as we know it.
Please join in with our Scarecrow Festival this year. There is no competition this year - just a bit of fun! Plan, design and display your scarecrow outside your home, or another agreed space in the village. Please contact me if you are stuck for ideas of where to display. Then - email me the address of where your scarecrow will be residing and his or her name. That way, I can compile a list so that people can walk and hunt the scarecrows!
They may not all be up yet but -
So far we know we will have:-
1 BillorBen outside Bretaneby (opp School Lane) High Street
2 Monty 12a High Street
3 Gnome Alone 20 High Street
4 Lottie Litter Picker 15 Bentleys Meadow
Hope there will be lots more next week!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED PLEASE.
Our Seal Over 60’s Group meets every second Saturday of each month from 2.30-4pm. Some of those attending this group, are dependent on volunteer drivers to transport them to and from the Village Hall. If you are a driver, snd could spare a couple of hours 2 or 3 times a year, to help with this, please contact Barbara Martin on 07775861562 or email her on barbara.s.martin@btconnect.
SILENT AUCTION UPDATE -
The date for the sale of our 4 beautifully crafted carver chairs , 2 side chairs and the guide wheel, is up.
As we still have the guide wheel, 1 carver and the side chairs, they are being put on local sites for sale. The proceeds so far are £375 for Seal Church, so a huge thank you to Patrick Coffey for such a generous donation.
I will report back on the final amount when they are sold.
HISTORY WALK
The history walk on 12th September was such a lovely event. The feedback was so positive and we would like to thank David Williams for giving of his time and sharing his knowledge . The second of his walks on 26th, is fully booked, but if you would like to follow David’s route a guide book will soon be available from September 27th at Deniz’s in the High Street, or Highland Printing in Church Farm. The cost is £5 per book.

CHRISTMAS PARTY:-
There will be a family party to celebrate the turning on of our village Christmas lights, on Saturday December 4th from 3pm with lights on at 4.30pm. More details to follow.
Please note:- any Covid restrictions at the time, will be followed.
BUT BEFORE THE PARTY…….We will need the usual help to get our lights up please! If you can help on Saturday November 27th, between 9am and midday, please let me know by responding to this email. Hopefully, we will be able to get these up in record time this year! Obviously, the more help, the quicker we will be, and there is always the incentive of a good coffee and a bacon sandwich to ‘reel you all in’. Seriously, this is always a fun morning, and a great opportunity to meet neighbours while doing a great job of cheering our village. We are hoping to stretch a little further up the High Street this year, so if we could get some volunteers from High Street residents,between Park Lane and East Point and between Church Street and the old Copper Kettle, that would be great!
