Birlingham News is being published a day early this week, as there
are two important social occasions this weekend and you don’t have much time
left to get your tickets.
In this issue:
-------------------------------------------------------
The Cricket Club quiz in aid of MIND takes place this Friday,
10th June. The evening begins at 7.00pm in the clubhouse, with the quiz starting
at 7.30pm. Teams can comprise between 4 and 6 people. The entry fee of £10 per
team includes a buffet.
-------------------------------------------------------
So that Marion knows how many to cater for this Sunday, tickets for
the Queen’s Birthday Brunch need to be booked by tomorrow (Wednesday) at the
latest. Tickets are available from John Hill (Sycamore House, Church Street) or
June Hiden (Lamorna, Broadway Road), or by leaving a message on 01386 751717.
The cost is £8 for adults, £5 for children (under 14) or £20 for a family (2
adults plus 2 children). This includes either a full English breakfast (with vegetarian option) or smoked
salmon and asparagus. The meal will also include toast, orange juice and tea or
coffee, and a glass of fizz or a non-alcoholic drink on arrival. The brunch will
be served between 12.00 and 2.00pm (but please don’t all arrive at
once!)
Children’s and adults races take place from 2.00pm. Tea and coffee
will be available (for a small charge) from 4.00pm. A quiz on the life of the
Queen will be circulated during the afternoon. Full details of the event, organised by the Jubilee Committee, can be
viewed at www.birlingham.org/docs/q90_brunch.pdf.
-------------------------------------------------------
During the
initial Village Design Statement meeting four working groups were set up to look
at various aspects of the plan:
- Existing Village and its History, led by Bryan and Christina Horrocks
- Landscapes and Views, Protected Areas and Natural Heritage, led by Dan
Stratford
- Residents' Views, led by Maryanne Dyer
- Landmarks and Monuments, and Village Architecture, led by Steven
Byrne
If you would like to be involved in any of these groups, please contact the
group leader.

As no election has
been requested for the current vacancy on the Parish Council, the Council will
co-opt a new member at their next meeting on Wednesday 21st
July.

more information on the Parish Council and its role, and how you can apply to
become a councillor, please email the Clerk, June Hiden, at birlingham_clerk@yahoo.co.uk.
