Our team is called The All Stars

Hope to see you there.

We are very involved with our village fete which is this coming Saturday – 29th June from 2.30 – 4pm. It is a traditional garden fete with lots of stalls / games for both adults and children held in the lovely gardens of the Old Vicarage WR7 4QH. Excellent refreshments! There is also a large As New boutique in the Parish Room WR7 4QQ. Come and join us if you can.

The crop of both plums and apples looks as though it will be very good this year. We escaped the frost and the blossom was quickly pollinated. So, use up any fruit left in the freezer and we look forward to seeing you in a few weeks as you restock. We will let you know when picking begins.
