OVER TO YOU.....
DOG ATTACK
Almost every day I walk 3 dogs around SWF, often one Westie in
a pet stroller (pink). On the 2/7/18 the other Westie was attacked
in Salcoates Park by the Cricket Clubhouse. The attacking dog
was not controlled and pulled its head from the collar and lead.
The Westie - Buster needed stitches and medical attention. The
dog was a large long haired Alsation type dog. If you have any
info or similar experience please report to the police on 101 ex
430011, incident number 1352 4th July.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA!
Some aluminium double-glazed window panes were removed
from the front of my property in Carisbrooke Drive on 8th July.
You were caught on my cctv camera. I can only assume you
thought they were surplus to requirements - wrong. I'd like these
back please. Kindly return them and this will go no further.
Otherwise I will have to take this evidence to the police to
investigate.

Dear Friends,
I said I would keep you up to date with the garden where Alex
lives. We have found a new provider to take over from SCOPE.
We’ve had the paths renewed, bought a greenhouse and shed
and had a good tidy up. Thanks from Alex and his friends,
Morley Road in Tiptree. Myself and Alan I know, will be looking
down and saying that too.

volunteerS needed for
chelMSford Marathon
Runners from across the UK will be heading to Chelmsford on
Sunday 21st October to take part in the 2018 Chelmsford
Marathon. It is the fifth year of this major sporting event and
organisers at The J’s Hospice are appealing for more volunteers
to help make it even bigger!
The Chelmsford Marathon raises tens of thousands of pounds
each year for The J’s Hospice charity which cares for young adults
with life-limiting conditions and their families across Essex, in the
comfort of their own homes or in the community.
It would not be so successful without the 260 volunteers who
kindly give their time to help in the run up to the event and on
the big day.
The charity needs people to help set up and take down the event
plus there are a variety of roles throughout the day including
water station volunteers, marshals and photographers along the
route as well as baggage, t-shirt and finish funnel volunteers in
the event village at Central Park. There really is a role for
everyone!
Jane Cox has volunteered as Head Marshal at the Chelmsford
Marathon since it began. She explained: “I organise a team of
marshals by placing them in their positions, supporting them
when required and generally communicating to them the
importance of their role because without them the Marathon
would not be able to run. I encourage people to volunteer at the
Marathon because there’s a great atmosphere and you get to be
part of a big community event which is raising money for The J’s
Hospice which is a fantastic cause to support!”
To volunteer, please contact Lucy:
lucy.burgess@thejshospice.org.uk or 01245 475474.
