WITH the end of the football season, Crossways FC have once again had a marvellous season and have crowned their achievements with the league two championship title. The last six games saw the team on a winning streak including a satisfying win over the hot favourites Upwey & Broadwey.
A FEW weeks ago I mentioned the wonderful work that Richard Backwell of Sutton Poyntz is doing to improve the living conditions of villagers in Nepal, and that he had turned his attention to a sewing project which would enable the women of two villages to make clothes for themselves and their families. This meant Richard needed sewing machines and asked if anyone had an old hand operated ones that they would be happy to donate.
Affpuddle
THIS is a reminder to all residents of Affpuddle, Briantspuddle and Turnerspuddle that the AGM of the village hall committee takes place on Wednesday May 7 at 7.30pm.
DANA Winner, the successful Belgium singer, got to know about the work of Children of Fiji and invited Peter and Margaret to meet her after one of her concerts.
I COULD not believe my eyes when I drove along Sutton Road down the hill into Sutton Poyntz recently. This is the spot where extensive work has just taken place, with the road being dug up and pipes laid to channel away the water from the stream that rises just below the road surface.
AS CAN be seen, there is no lack patriotic spirit or enthusiasm amongst the many members of the Sequence Dance Club which meets at the Village Hall. St George's Day was celebrated in fine style with a glass of bubbly and ploughman's supper provided by the Committee of the club, with, as you would expect, dancing to music provided by Terry and Betty Adair. A good time was had by all.
CHICKERELL United football club, the chickens, will always look back on the 2007/08 season as being one of, if not the greatest, season in their history.
