1.00pm Sat 3 rd Sept. BOYTON VILLAGE HALL GRAND DRAW AT 4.00pm In Aid of Church & Village Hall August 2011 page 14 www.villagevoices.org.uk
Proud Boyton Voted Best Village! Boyton has won the Suffolk Coastal Village of the Year competition (see Cover photo) and is now competing to be Suffolk Village of the Year! This is an amazing achievement, really putting Boyton and the whole of the Peninsula on the map. The July meeting of the Community Group focussed on preparations for the Group’s first AGM and Celebration Launch on Saturday 16th July which by the time you read this will have already taken place. Interest in alternative sources of energy is still high. Following the survey of eleven properties, the group is looking into ways of financing community-based funding of photovoltaic panels, to harness the light of the sun to generate electricity. In the longer term, the group is also looking at other alternatives including wind and tidal power. The Bulk Oil Scheme - run by volunteers - continues to operate well, with the latest order being the largest yet. We are looking at how to make the scheme to be even more convenient and easy to use. It covers the whole of the Peninsula and aims to get a discount price whilst reducing the number of journeys made by the tanker, In addition, the Group has started a trial scheme to Bulk Buy Wholefoods. Six households pooled their orders and purchased goods at wholesale prices from Suma. It is planned to continue the scheme but to keep membership low in order to minimise administration. If you are interested in setting up your own scheme, do let us know. The vegetable exchange is still busy and there are plans in conjunction with the Boyton PCC, to create a mini allotment on land surrounding it and the village sign. Watch this space for details of the Boyton Open Gardens planned for September and the Boyton Apple Festival which we hope to put on in October. Our next meeting will be on Saturday 6th August at Papaver, Boyton from 9:00 to 11:00 am: please do come along - the meeting is open to anyone who is interested!
