Fun Challenge Cricket Match -- Sunday 24th August

The match is between the village cricket team and Westerleigh villagers. Anyone who wants to play will get a turn within the 40 overs allotted to each team. Just turn up for 2pm on the field. There will be a cricket tea provided in the village hall to which everyone (spectators included) are invited in return for a donation to charity in memory of Keith Davis, who taught locally and was club secretary for many years.

Shire Way Community Composting Site

South Gloucestershire Council are proposing the closure of Shire Way Composting site. This is partly due to the costs (especially dealing with fly tipping) and more recently because the Shireway Community Centre have given the Council formal notice to leave the site. See the Council web page about their consultation.

There is a petition to the Council to keep the composting site or similar amenity open. You can access the petition on the Council web site.

Death of Geoff Danby

Geoff was a founder member of the Neighbourhood Watch and regularly attended meetings until recently. He was always helping out: with his barbeque barrel at events on the playing field or using his trailer when we put up and took down the Christmas tree on the Green. We will miss him.
