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…

Friday 8 August:
~ Village Greens, 9am-2pm at the hall, come for your fresh produce, jams and other goodies, a friendly cup of tea or coffee, or why not try a cooked breakfast or a tasty mushroom soup for lunch ~ latest update

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
  • REVISED DATE – Fri 25 July, 7.30pm: Faith Supper to bid farewell to Rector Andrew Balfour, St Neot Institute ~ info

Next week in Warleggan

We’ve got a lot on this coming week at the Warleggan Jubilee Hall in Mount:

Survey deadline ~ Friday

Firstly, the ‘What do you want?’ survey:  A big thanks to all of you who have already filled it in; it’s really appreciated. If you haven’t yet done so, the good news is that the deadline is extended by a week.  It’ll only take a minute or two to fill, and will help us know which activities and clubs there may be a good amount of interest in. So do please have your say, even if it’s simply to say you aren’t interested!

The survey is open to everyone living in or near the parish, as well as all hall users and visitors from neighbouring parishes.  See here for more information, and to download the form.

The deadline is now Friday 28 March: so, if you didn’t yet get round to handing in your completed survey form, do it now and hand it to a hall committee member, or you can drop it off in the box in the hall when you come to any of the following upcoming events over the coming seven days…

Coming up next week:

  • Tuesday 25 March:
    • Pilates –  starts at 12 noon, newcomers welcome – phone Gill 01208 821494 if you’re thinking of coming – more info
