The Annie Russell-Jones Cup<br />
Once again we were fortunate to have Eric Price as our chief<br />
judge on July 9th when the judging of the <strong>Fulmer</strong> allotments<br />
took place. Mr Rodgers was the winner of the Cup with a very<br />
worthy 36 points, from a maximum available of 40. The<br />
runner-up was Dr Adrienne Leon with a very good score of 33<br />
points from what was previously John Mundie’s plot. The<br />
Annie Russell-Jones Cup was awarded to Mr Rodgers at the<br />
Stoke Poges, Wexham and <strong>Fulmer</strong> Horticultural Show on<br />
Saturday, July 30th.<br />
Overall this year, although there were some very good<br />
allotments, there were also a number that did not appear to<br />
have been worked recently or at least not to any great<br />
extent. This is a great pity as we do have a waiting list of<br />
people who would love to have their own allotments.<br />

<strong>Fulmer</strong> <strong>Village</strong> Hall<br />
The <strong>Village</strong> Hall is even more popular than ever for parties and family celebrations, having<br />
been booked solidly since the summer, right up to Christmas. It is also used nearly every<br />
weeknight for a number of different education and exercise classes.<br />
As a result it has maintained a healthy financial position; thanks go to our new treasurer<br />
Angie Bass who has worked very hard on her first Annual Return to the Charity<br />
Commission in reconciling the accounts. Also having not increased the hire rates for five<br />
years we have reluctantly decided to do so this year, albeit modestly, principally to help<br />
meet rising utility prices and charges. Not only are the oven and dishwasher now working<br />
properly again but also the big dip in the driveway has been repaired to the relief of<br />
everyone who has had to drive over it very carefully in the last two years.<br />
So please don‟t forget if you know anyone who is looking for a venue for a family party or<br />
similar event please let them know about <strong>Fulmer</strong> <strong>Village</strong> Hall, it‟s one of the best available<br />
locally. Call Karen Nelmes, our Lettings Secretary on 01753 662928 for further details. We<br />
look forward to seeing you.<br />
Pauline Vahey<br />
Chairman, <strong>Fulmer</strong> <strong>Village</strong> Hall Management Committee
