KINGSLAND MILLENNIUM GREEN TRUST Congratulations to the winners of our Grand National Sweep Stake: First no 126 Glenys Lister with Many Clouds £ 72.00 Second no 274 Mr & Mrs Veal with Saint Are £43.20 Third no 290 Andrew Read with Monbeg Dude £ 28.80 Fourth no 14 Mike Lister with Alvarado £18.00 The sweep stake raised £117.60 for the Easter Rabbit’s eggs and £80.40 for the maintenance fund. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets and to all our ticket sellers. The Easter Rabbit made his appearance at 12.20 p.m.on Easter Sunday and was chased round the Green by a great number of children who collected a great number of chocolate eggs - a lot of fun was had by all! Congratulations too to the three winners of our Quarterly Draw which also took place on April 11th.M.Ward, K.Cave-Browne-Cave and J.A.Guest each won £50.00. Jill Probyn’s bench has been installed round the oak tree near the pavilion. This elegant metal bench, beautifully made by Owen Mabbort of Shirlheath, has been paid for by funds raised at a coffee morning held in 2014 and a 106 grant. Jill was a driving force from the outset of the Millennium Green project and continued to be involved with its management, as well as giving her time generously to many other village groups and projects, until she died just a year ago. We are sure she would have appreciated sitting here with her friends and watching others enjoy the Green. Jacquie Markham
