6 March 2019 - Nepal supper, Pond clean up and Scout Jumble sale
Dear all,
Okhle Village Trust: Richard Backwell, on behalf of himself, Ruth, Judith and Clive, would like to thank everyone who attended the recent Nepal Supper evening. With donations, the total amount raised was £925, far more, he says, than was ever expected. Richard will be going out to Nepal in November to see for himself the progress on the Samjur project, which should be well underway or even completed by then. From Richard's talk at the Supper Evening it is obvious that the Okhle Village Trust, under Richard's direction and with so much support, has made a huge difference to the lives of those in Nepal. Long may he continue.
Pond Clean up: Jon Waterman (apt name, Jon!) would like to thank everyone who turned out on Saturday to assist in the annual pond clean up, with especial thanks to Peter Riley for allowing him to go off-roading in his garden with the pond debris. Thanks also to the Springhead for providing the bacon rolls and coffee after all that back breaking labour. I am sure that the alligators are very appreciative of their newly spruced up home. It looks very nice indeed. A plastic tub and large cutters were left behind, so contact Jon if they are yours.
The Weymouth East Scout & Guide Autumn Jumble Sale: will take place on Saturday, 13 April at 2pm in the Scutt Hall. I mention this in good time because Mo and Dave Martin would be grateful for donations of anything they can sell - clothes, bric-a-brac, books, toys, household goods etc - to raise funds to maintain the Scutt Hall for the use of our local youngsters. Please contact Mo/Dave on 836322 if you have anything of that they could use. All the money for the Hall comes from the two annual jumble sales and the beach stall in the summer, so each one is very important. Please help if you can.
Regards
Chris
