Info

Our Village Hall The Village Hall is available for all sorts of funcons. There is a fully-equipped kitchen with plenty of china and cutlery. The hall is well heated during the winter months. The venue is not too large – it can accommodate about 70 people seated – which is usually adequate for most events. There is room for a small music group or disco. The Hall is an excellent venue for birthday pares, Christmas pares, New Years Eve, fundraising events for your favourite charity, or even a very large family dinner party - the list of opons extends as far as your imaginaon. You can also extend your event into the Jubilee Park behind the Village Hall, which has proved very popular for entertainment and wedding venues with marquees. We can obtain a licence for you if you wish to sell alcohol – this costs £21.00. Wine and beer is available to purchase from the Village Shop at a very reasonable price, and sale or return can usually be arranged. Dra beer can be purchased from Holsworthy Brewery, who will deliver and collect barrels. Do you feel able to run a cra group, or a flower arranging session? What about a gardening club, or a ladies group? Most things are possible. There is a regular skiles session on Thursday evenings, there are table top sales on the third Saturday of every month, and a Village Lunch about four mes a year. Come and join in! The Village Hall Commiee are hoping to approach local builders this year with a view to having a new toilet block built with disabled facilies and beer storage .We will be seeking Loery Funding for this project. We hope to have more news on that in the next issue of the Chronicle. This is your Village Hall – use it if at all possible.

Sheepwash Village Hall Commiee Making Money From Used Stamps Even in this electronic era of emails and texts, we all sll receive leers, many of which have stamps on the envelope. These stamps are sll valuable, even though you can’t re-use them to post another leer – philatelists all over the world are keen to collect them. There is a box in the community shop where you can deposit your used stamps. All stamps deposited there will help raise funds for the Children’s Hospice South West. So please save all your used stamps, and drop them into the box next me you’re in the shop. All contribuons will be very gratefully received, and this simple act can achieve a lot of good! 16
Parish Council News For full minutes of the Parish Council meeng (which was also the Annual Council meeng) held on Wednesday 17 th May, please see their website – www.sheepwashparishcouncil.co.uk. The main points of interest were as follows: Philip Hacke was elected as Chairman for the year, and Mike Ritson was elected as Vice-Chairman. A meeng was arranged for Friday 19 th May, to record and analyse the data from the returned surveys about the Parish Plan – too late to report in this Chronicle, but hopefully we will get feedback to report in the next edion. One of the picnic tables in the Jubilee Park is considered unsafe, so it will be removed and scrapped, but it should be replaced by two new ones. Three planning applicaons were discussed, one new one and two retrospecve ones. No objecons were raised to the new one, and it was agreed that “no comment” will be passed on to the County Planning Department on the retrospecve ones. A schedule of meengs was agreed for the coming year, all starng at 7.00 p.m. on a Wednesday – 26 th July, 20 th September, 15 th November, 17 th January, and 14 th March. So the next meeng is on Wednesday 26 th July. Don’t Leave Your Doggy-Do! A number of people have asked us to remind dog owners to pick up their dog’s poo, and to make sure that their dogs don’t poo on people’s front gardens and grass. This is becoming quite a problem in East Street, in parcular. There are plenty of dog poo bins about, and big fines if you’re caught not ‘binning it’.
