I think I may have been a little presumptuous last edition with my excitement over the forthcoming sunshine. Well, I keep being reliably informed, whether by old wife’s tales or the meteorological office that there is fair weather ahead. Although looking at the looming grey clouds out the window as I type, it’s hard to stay an optimist! Hopefully the sun will shine on the evening of 13th July, when the village is turned over to the annual Safari Supper. There are still tickets available from Victoria at 07899 914 221. This includes a threecourse meal at three different houses and an evening of meeting old and making new friends. The evening is on behalf of Krakatoa Pre-school. Looking ahead to September, the Lewknor Horticultural Show will be held at Knapp Farm on the 15th. If you would like to enter a category or have items to donate for the tombola, please see the full article on page four. The proceeds
for the event are shared between Lewknor C of E Primary School, Krakatoa Pre-School and the Jubilee Hall. It’s a great day, so please come along and support the village. St. Margaret’s Church would like to say a huge “Thank you ” to Ernestine Denham and Neil Allen for all their hard work over the last few years as vital members of the St Margaret’s Church Council. They have now decided to step down and as a result the council are looking for new members to join Rev. Peter Waterson, Ian OrrEwing, Tracey Avery, Libby Jackson, Alex Hinckley and Victoria Balls. It’s a small friendly group that meet once every few months for a short meeting to discuss the church and the way forward, have a glass of wine and nibbles! If you would be interested in joining them, please give Peter a call on 07747 757657. Have a great summer everyone and see you in September!
