‘Big Do’ this Saturday

It’s just two days away – this year’s ‘Big Do in the Field’, the ever-popular annual village fete in the field opposite Warleggan Jubilee Hall in Mount, this Saturday, 23 July, 12 noon til about 4.30 pm.  All the usual things – and one or two innovations.

Usual things:  children’s fancy dress, children’s races, dog-show, BBQ, cream teas, beer/wine, stalls, games, welly wanging, etc etc etc;  plus the ever popular flower / veg / craft show in the hall

and then new this year:

>> Table tennis table will be out, weather permitting – and forecast looks promising.

>> Knobbly Knees –  win prizes –  are yours the KNobbliest?  the KNicest?   And can you work out whose knees belong to whom?  We’ll be displaying photos of faces, and  photos of knees, and you’ll be invited to work out which knees are whose.  We’ve had a good number of pairs of photos coming in, but we need more!  see BigDo webpage for details.

See you Saturday…. Free entry, free parking.

Legal bit? It’s called a Big Do, because, relative to the size of the parish, it is.  But in reality is a small friendly fete held annually to help bring the community together, to meet friends and to make new ones,  and at the same time to raise a bit of money to help keep our hall going and our hire rates affordable.

A big week in Warleggan

So what’s happening in the Jubilee Hall in Warleggan this week?
(see also posters below)

  • Friday 11th March, 9 am – 2 pm:
    Want to get your heart going again?          At Village Greens this Friday, we hope Sarah Cox will pop by.  She’s the daughter-in-law of everyone’s favourite postman Graham Cox, and she’s going to be running the London marathon next month, raising money for the defibrillator we hope to get installed in the phone box outside the hall.  For more info, or to donate online, go to our ‘heart‘ page.  There’s a link there to our JustGiving page, where donations can be made – and please, if you are a tax-payer, take the ‘GiftAid’ option, as this adds 25% to the donation at no extra cost to you.  Thanks go also to Warleggan Young Farmers, who have chosen this defibrillator fundraiser as one of the charitable causes they’re supporting this year. As always, Village Greens is open 9 am til 2 pm, offering a range of produce to buy, breakfasts, tea/coffee etc., and soup lunches.

Coming up this week

The Big Do is now behind us   – it was a great success, everyone seemed to have had a good time, the sun shone brightly (‘though some of us might have preferred the thermostat had been set a touch lower!), and it was great to see so many more activities there –  and we raised over £1,000 a year for the hall, too.  Thanks to everyone who helped make it go so well, including, of course, everyone who joined us on the day.  Check out the over 140 photos on the Warleggan website.

Four oak tree saplings now sit proudly in the new graveyard and parking area next to St Bartholomew Church, planted on Monday in memory of the four from the parish who were lost in the First World War – see photos. 

So what’s coming up?  Well, the next few days we will have…

Big Do etc. this week

You may have seen the posters for it, produced by children at Cardinham School…

You may have read about in the papers….

Yes, the Big Do in the Field, Warleggan’s small and friendly annual fete, is this coming Saturday, 26 July, on the field opposite the Jubilee Hall in Mount.  There’ll be more happening than previous years – so come along!  The weather looks encouraging too.

Free entry and free parking, of course.

Events to be held on the day include: Children’s Fancy Dress competition, Children’s Races, a Dog Display, Family Dog Show (see schedule of classes) and Tug of War, and it looks like we may have one or two extra events!

We’ll have our ever popular barbecue tent (a meat one and a vegetarian one), a bar, cream teas, ice creams, cake stall, bouncy castle, bottle stall, tombola, guess the weight, face-painting, candy floss, hoopla… –  or you might like to try your hand at Smite, Petanque, or Welly Wanging!  We also hope to have a play area for the tiny ones, and one or two (maybe more??) classic cars on display.

There’ll also be some car boots there  –  to book a £5 pitch, call Jasmina on 01208 821223, who can also be contacted for any other information or if you’d like to help out at our Big Do.

Meanwhile, we’ll have the ever popular Annual Vegetable, Flower and Handicraft Show in the hall opposite – see schedule of classes and entry form.

For all the latest info – see our ‘BigDo’ page on the Warleggan website – www.warleggan.net/bigdo2014

Chairs and tables:  folk like to sit down and enjoy their burger or cream tea in comfort – so, if you’re happy to lend an outside table or two and/or some chairs, please bring them along on the morning.  You might want to label them underneath, in case we get similar-looking ones.  If you need help with transporting them to the field and back, contact John Hammond on 821433

ALSO HAPPENING THIS WEEK:

  • Wed 23 July, 7pm: History Club Walk, Fowey  – Sally & Ros will take us on a guided tour through Fowey with its rich maritime history.  Meet in the Station Car Park (follow the direction signs to the Bodinnick Ferry at the roundabout at the top of Fowey and stop in the first car park on the left – parking fee £2.50). Please ensure you are at the meeting points at 7.00 p.m. so that we can start on time.  The walk is relatively level and easy going with a number of stops and last about one and a half hours. It would help if you could let Gill know (821494) if you hope to attend ~ info
