Once again, huge apologies for the failure of the automatic newsletter over the past few weeks. In an attempt to get it working once again I have cleared out the old system and added a completely new one. This message should be the first you receive under the new system.

Do you own this cat?

This is a Tom cat who has taken up residence outside the back door of Sundial House, Upper Wardington. Pam Jones(Forbes) says: "He is a very friendly old Tom, but he is scaring our resident cat, who is spending much of his time cowering indoors or insisting on exiting the house via the front door to avoid the sentry by the back door! "We don't know where he has come from, but we have seen him from time to time over the past year or so. "If we cannot re-home him or find his original owner we will probably have to take him to a Rescue centre and hope that he finds a new family. Thanks in anticipation." If you

Yes that's right - Wardington Village Cinema is showing another fantastic film! This time we are screening The recently released "Far from the Madding Crowd"  on Friday 16th October at 8pm. Based on the literary classic by Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd is the story of independent, beautiful and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan), who attracts three very different suitors: Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts), a sheep farmer, captivated by her fetching willfulness; Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge), a handsome and reckless Sergeant; and William Boldwood (Michael Sheen), a prosperous and mature bachelor. This timeless story of Bathsheba’s choices and passions explores the nature of relationships and love – as well as the human ability to overcome hardships through resilience

Village defibrillator

I was wondering if anyone in the village is interested in setting up a group to consider raising money to get a defibrillator for the village? This might include a course for learning how to use it (which would take about 20 minutes) and training up as many people as possible in first aid. Please email all expressions of interest to John Rourke of Taylor's Cottage jrssne@yahoo.com

A FUN AFTERNOON AT THE FETE

Over two hundred from the village and further afield flocked to the Manor for a most enjoyable afternoon at the Fete last Sunday. The weather finally came good and the sunglasses and hats were much needed. There was fun on hand for all ages and soon the twenty or so attractions were doing brisk trade with the Garden Club plant stall and Air Ambulance stall both selling out completely. Meanwhile the Morris Dancers, including the Vicar as a volunteer dancer, added plenty of colour in the centre of the lawn. The hot dog BBQ and cream teas were busy throughout along with the Pimms bar being drunk almost dry! Most importantly - the occasion raised the amazing sum of almost
