The Eagle
March 2018 Volume 35
Yarnscombe Newsletter by the Community for the Community Note from the Editors A big THANK YOU to those of you who have passed on their “little brown envelopes” with your donations for a years worth of The Eagle. We’ll keep your issue “open” for another month and at that time we will need to remove your address from the list. Unfortunately, the cost of producing The Eagle isn’t free and all costs need to be covered. Some parishoners have been very generous as usual with their donations, for which we thank you. We are very grateful to those of you who have given us very positive feedback – “The Eagle is a wonderful community read. We are so lucky to have such dedicated editors” is one lovely comment received on the back of the envelope. Can we take this opportunity to say a big “Hello” to our new residents to the village who have moved into Symondsdean and Northchurch Cottage. We hope you’ll be very happy here in Yarnscombe.
Just as we go to print, the “Beast from the East” is about to hit the UK. Extreme cold winds and weather will be arriving from Russia, bringing daytime temperatures of 0°C but with the wind chill it could feel like -11°C. Take care while you’re out and about and keep an eye on friends and neighbours. It’s gonna be COLD!
