Maintenance Day

On Saturday, August 10th, around 18 people came down to the Village Hall to help with our annual Maintenance Day (and some were good enough to come back on the Sunday to finish things off). We cleaned and filled, repaired and painted, scrubbed and polished, weeded and trimmed and all to good effect – I think that the Hall now looks very clean and smart.

I’d like to thank, in no particular order; Adrian & Belinda Marklew, Karen & Stuart Barker, Gaynor & Jo van Dijk, Katy & Stuart Whittaker, (Mr) Pat Crowther, Ken Bull, Jeff Reid, John McKail, Roger Goodman, Jay Roberts, Jane Smith, Jo Sweby (Ann Marshal’s Daughter) and last but no means least, Robin Teall for his guidance and patience.

Some of the funding for the Maintenance Day was raised by Barbara Kenny’s Oxhill Art Exhibition which was held in the Village Hall on 12 July, for which we are very grateful. The same event also raised funds for Aylesford Cancer Centre at Warwick Hospital.

I should also mention Gwyn Adams who kindly donated two thirds of a tin of very special floor polish that Tricia used on the parquet floor and it now looks wonderful.
