What is "Know Your Neighbours"?

"Know Your Neighbours" is a grass-roots community group in Seal, near Sevenoaks in Kent. The group is made up of anyone in the village who wants to get involved - individuals, clubs and societies, businesses, church and schools, parish council,and many others.
We organise local events through the year - fetes, street parties, Christmas events etc. - and we hold social gatherings, just so that people can get to "know their neighbours". There's no "committee" - anyone who turns up for meetings is welcome to help in any way they are able.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE, OR BE ADDED TO THE EMAIL LIST, contact Marion Gilchrist , who coordinates the group, or Anne Le Bas, who maintains this blog.
This Blog will be archived from July 7 2024 following the retirement of Rev Anne Le Bas who has maintained it. Know Your Neighbours will continue however. Please email Marion if you would like to know more!

Tickets are now sold out for this event, but if you wanted to come and were too late - look out for the next one later in the year.


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.

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.
