Embu
Primary School Friday morning coffee drinkers at Serendipity in the Street have raised £480 for the Embu Primary School in Kenya. The next fund-raising project is the Church Clock, which has needed repairs, and plans are afoot to install an electric winding system which will update the clock and avoid the trudge up the tower for the winder. Poetry Group Albert Lindsay let the discussion of A E Houseman’s poetry, and the group were surprised by the variety of poems which were read. Several members had penned works about Celebration, and Eileen’s golden wedding seems to have inspired the writing. The next poet, for 6 August, will be Roger McGough, with the theme of “At the Barbecue” for aspiring poets. Garden Waste Bins The garden waste bin scheme is to continue in Hullavington. If you have found the service valuable in avoiding trips to the tip over the past year, now is the time to renew your subscription. New bins are available for garden waste at a cost of £40 for the first bin and £14 for any subsequent bins, by phoning the Waste Recycling Hotline on 01249 706693. Village Voices Village Voices ended their singing season with a short performance at Nick and Eileen Fry’s Golden Wedding. There will be other opportunities for a capella singing throughout the summer, with the next to watch out for, the Big Summer Sing at Solsbury Hill on 20 July. Lifts will be available from Hullavington for walking and singing overlooking Bath and the Avon Valley. See www.singyoursocksoff.co.uk . |
