Plans are in progress for several events this year
and details of how you can get involved are given below.
In this issue:
-------------------------------------------------------
Phone 01386 750485 to reserve a table. Advance booking is essential.
-------------------------------------------------------
The annual litter pick around the village
has been provisionally booked for Saturday 15th March (weather permitting). If
you can spare an hour, please come along and help. This is our opportunity to
make the village tidy for the summer.
Litter-picking equipment is provided and
we will meet on the village green at 10.00am.
-------------------------------------------------------
As part of the
commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of the start of the First World War,
the Bystander is proposing to include an article on the residents of Birlingham
who were killed in the war and whose names are listed on the War Memorial. This
information is being compiled by Chris Reynard.
It is also hoped
to research those who returned from the two World Wars and are listed in the
Roll of Honour in the church. A volunteer is needed to co-ordinate the research,
so if you would like to help with this task, please contact Edward Farrar at erfarrar@homecall.co.uk. (Thanks are
due to Ed Walden for suggesting the idea.)
-------------------------------------------------------
Following successful
village outings to Weston Super Mare in 2011 and Barry Island in 2012, we took a
break last year. We are now starting to plan another village outing for this
summer. If you have any suggestions for where we
might go or for suitable dates, please let us know.
We are also looking for someone to help organise
this year’s trip. It is not a huge task so if you would like to be involved,
please email news@birlingham.org.
