KYN will
meet in church from 10am to 11am, on Saturday 13th February, to get plans
underway for events for 2016.. We are already in the process of arranging a
Street Party to celebrate the Queen’s
90th Birthday, on Saturday June 11th, so any ideas for entertainment for this
event will be gratefully received. If you have any ideas, please bring any
details with you, or even establish availability of anybody you may know of.
This would be a great help. We hope to see as many people at the meeting as
possible, so we can spread the load.
A blog for the "Know Your Neighbours" group. Connecting people in Seal, near Sevenoaks in Kent.
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!

We also planned a Village Carol Singing event - SATURDAY DEC 12th from 6 - 7.30pm around the village, followed by some mulled wine and a mince pie in the Church hall to warm up. Everyone's welcome. Just turn up at the Church Hall at 6pm. If you know someone in the village who'd like us to sing to them, let us know and we'll try to fit you in our itinerary.

Know Your Neighbours meeting and table top sale
Saturday November 28th between 10am and midday, in Seal Village Hall.
As well as our KYN meeting we will also be holding a mini table top sale , to kick off some fund raising for any KYN activities to be held in 2016. If you wish to book a table, please email Marion as soon as possible, as there won't be a huge amount of space, so it will be first come first served. The cost of a table will be £7.
The Seal Village Association will be able to consider awarding some funds for local causes, as there is a small surplus of around £600 in their funds. If you represent a local organisation in need of funds, please make your application by emailing barbara.s.martin@btconnect.com
by Monday November 23rd.
We look forward to seeing you on Sat 28th to hear your ideas for events for 2016.

Seal Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, are still looking desperately
for leaders. If you enjoy working with children, having lots of fun, and have
enthusiasm and energy, please contact me and I will point you in the right
direction
You will probably be aware by now that today sees the first day of PYO strawberries at Stonepitts! Here's to a long season!
One last request! We are looking for a volunteer to assist the local library with a home delivery service to a couple of people who cannot make it up to the library themselves. We have a lovely lady who has been delivering this service on behalf of Know Your Neighbours for some years, but now finds herself stretched a little thin. If you feel you are able to assist with this project, please don't be shy!! Send me an email and we can have a chat about what is involved.
Looking forward to hearing from MANY of you! All your efforts are always greatly appreciated, and this community would not be able to thrive without them.
