Local Painter and Decorator

Miles Pote arrived in Claxton with his wife Katie just before Christmas (although he has a long association with the village as a regular visitor to Jim Goodwill over the years). Miles has started his own painting & decorating business so if Spring turns your thoughts to decorating, why not contact him for a very competitively priced quote.

Miles lives at Five Steps and can be contacted on 468108 or email Milespote500@hotmail.com

Women’s Institute

Ladies – don’t forget the next WI meeting – tomorrow Thursday 17th. Guest Speaker Roy Pawsey will be giving an account of ‘Night Shift at York Minster’. Starts at 7.30pm.

New members will be given a warm welcome. Alternatively why not give it a try out as a guest (£3 on the night).

Community Library Update

Owing to a full day event booked into the village hall, the Community Library cannot open on Mon 21st Jan. However, the library will be open on Wed 23rd Jan during the community lunch (12.30 – 2pm approx). Normal library service will be resumed on Monday 28th Jan.

Community Library Update

The Community Library will be open on Monday 17th as usual but then closed on Xmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. It will re-open Monday 7 January 2013.

cleaner required for the Village Hall

The Village Hall in Sand Hutton needs cleaning on a regular basis and we are inviting expressions of interest in taking on this important duty. If you would like to apply please get in touch with either Anne White tel. 01904 468550 or Fiona Davies 01904 468001 in the first instance, by 1st December.

Firework Displays within the Parish

Many people enjoy the spectacle of fireworks and their use at celebrations other than on Bonfire Night, is on the increase. Following concerns raised to the Parish Council, if you are thinking of holding a firework display, please spare a thought for those neighbours whose pets or farm animals can be extremely frightened by fireworks and consider putting a note on the Parish Website and/or the village notice boards regarding planned firework displays. This will allow your neighbours to keep pets indoors or make other arrangements to keep their animals calm on the night in question.

Community Library Update

The Community Library will be closed on Bank Holiday Monday 27 August. It will re-open at 10am on Monday 3 September.

 

New addition to the Community Library!

From Monday 30th July, when the Community Library is open, we will also have a ‘Community Jigsaw’ on the go, so why not pop in, have a complimentary cuppa with us and complete a piece or two of jigsaw then, choose a book to go home with.

If you have bored kids during the school holidays, why not bring them down to the village hall to help complete the jigsaws too – everyone is welcome (as are donations of jigsaws – no pieces missing please).

The Community Library is open every Monday Morning 10am – 12 in the village hall. We look forward to seeing you!
