17 January 2021 - 1. Victorian Street Fayre 2. Vandalism
Hello everyone,
David Langridge, Chairman of the Victorian Street Fayre Committee, has announced that although vaccinations are progressing the current restrictions are likely to continue for a while so there will not be time to organise the Street Fayre for June. Therefore with a heavy heart they are postponing the event until Sunday 26 June 2022. This is especially sad as it has always been an excellent community event run by a dedicated committee and helped by over 200 villagers raising a lot of money for local charities. He would like to thank everyone who has assisted the organising team in the past and looks forward to your continued support to hold the event next year.
It seems that when things are bad, some mindless people go out of their way to make them worse. Tony reports that vandals went through Sutton Poyntz at some time between 4pm and 11pm on Saturday 16 January. They threw a bench into the stream in Silver Street and did the same to the planter beneath the Plaisters Lane road sign. Books from the telephone box were also strewn all over the road. Tony has returned all the items to their rightful locations – thanks to him for that - but he is be keen to know who might be responsible. Did you witness any of these stupidities, or do you know anything about what happened?
After all that I promise that I’ll try and find something cheerful for the next Newsbite.
Until then, stay safe, remain well and keep smiling
Best regards
Chris
