~VILLAGE HALL COMMITTEE NEWS ~
Village Hall Committee First this month is confirmation of the total raised from the fete...a magnificent ÂŁ2,800. Once again a heartfelt thank you to EVERYBODY involved for such a wonderful result and to EVERYBODY who came along! The Sports on the Green was full of fun and laughter, gentle competition, neighbours and friends chatting and drinking and learning about-and helping-each other. Caz and Seb organised the rounders, running, and the equipment which was used so thanks to them. To see around twenty children playing and joining in together on the Green was possibly the best thing of all. Questions of the weather had raised its ugly head but in the end didn't bother anybody at all. Well done to the 'next generation'! Upcoming events Saturday 24th August-Craft and Produce Show in the Village Hall. Once again run by the Gardening Club-thank you to those kind people-and entry forms are available for you all. A single entry is worthwhile!! There will be a simple bar-prosecco, Pimms and tea and biscuit available. No BBQ this year though. Saturday 21st September-Music Quiz. A ploughman's will be provided, bar open and eight rounds of music based questions, tunes or pictures. Please let Nigel know if you wish to enter either as a team, pair, or individual. Saturday 19th October-Harvest Horkey with Wickham grown pork-and veg-pudding, coffee and chocolates. Bookings to Nigel please as numbers are limited. Thursday 31st October-Children's Halloween Party. Once again organised by Denise and her team and following the same format as usual-more information in September. Saturday 16th November is the November Fair with various craft stalls and a village tombola-so start collecting items that are suitable please. This runs from 12 noon 'till 4 pm and light lunches will be available. Saturday 6th December-Nigel's Famous Village Quiz! Also in December there will be a Children's Christmas party but as yet a date has not been settled upon. To complete the year the provisional date for the Plum Pudding Walk is Saturday 28th December-but this still needs to be confirmed. During the school holidays the Village Hall will be open from 9am to 12 noon for children, with an accompanying adult, to play table tennis. There is no charge although a donation to help buy new balls etc would be appreciated. Leigh is opening and locking the hall.
~NEWS FROM THE CLUBS~ Hilltop Women’s Group Hilltop Outing:-We called at Foundry Plant Centre for a comfort stop, plant buying and coffee, before heading off to Holt on the scenic route. A most enjoyable few hours there, for lunch and shopping, and then to Wiveton Café (Normal for Norfolk) for afternoon tea and a gallop(!) round the garden, before taking a more direct route home. Thanks to all who came and to Sue Merriam for organising it all. Summer Break now. Meet up again in the Village Hall on September 10 th at 7:45pm with a presentation, possibly practical, about foraging. The competition will be a holiday postcard, and if you need to bring anything for a practical session we will let you know. Thanks to all the committee for their planning and enthusiasm this year.

Our Monday Morning Group will take a break during August as with holidays and other commitments numbers will be very low. We will begin our normal pattern of 1st & 3rd Mondays again in September. We have a beautiful churchyard but it is expensive to maintain. The PCC are always grateful for help towards churchyard maintenance in the form of donations to the churchyard fund which, as well as the regular mowing, also pays for the annual mowing of the conservation areas, which are thriving. Donations for this purpose can also be given to Liz, either cash in an envelope marked 'Churchyard Fund' or a cheque made payable to 'Wickham Skeith Church Fund' marked 'Churchyard Fund' on the back. Thank you to those who do contribute. Flower & Cleaning Rota 4th & 11th Miss M Jones-Evans & Mrs J Keable 18th & 25th Mr & Mrs I Hempstead Sept 1st & 8th Mr & Mrs P Paine
~ F U N D R A I S I N G for S T. A N D R E W ’ S C H U R C H ~
The PCC was glad to receive the church building back from the builders on Thursday 18th July! A snagging list was drawn up and two men returned quickly to fix most of those little problems. For the next six months as we use the church we shall draw up a final list, holding back a small percentage of the cost until, in six months’ time, the project will be complete. The Fundraising group will take a few months to gather their thoughts and then will launch events again to raise funds for new heating and sound systems in church, which both collapsed as the project began. The electrician found that some of our power sources were wrongly wired to the lighting system too so they have been switched off until we can afford remedial action! In the meantime if you have a moment do visit the church to see the changes – a totally re-built gallery, water supply, cess pit, accessible loo, servery, sink for flower arrangers and lots more power sockets, lights for the bell-ringers etc. Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement – none of this would have happened without you - the people in this village and your friends. With thanks from St Andrew’s Church PCC.
