Leigh Magazine Club……New Management required urgently

After running the club for more than thirty years Jane now feels it is time to retire. The club itself has been going much longer. It is thought that it began by people sharing magazines. No-one is quite sure!

This is a very friendly group of people, aged around sixty plus-ish!.

We have meetings in the village hall during the winter months. Two a month, the first of which is with a speaker or entertainer and the second, two weeks, later is Bingo. We always have tea and biscuits, a raffle and bring-and-buy stall. And lots of laughs!  In the summer we have several coach outings.

If you feel that you could get involved with the club and run it you would be very welcome. It would be a great shame if the club were to disappear after so many years.

Please contact Jane Sturt  01306 632822 if you feel that you can help.

Next Parish Council Meeting on Monday 21st September

Our June and July (remote) Parish Council meeting went very smoothly with local residents joining us successfully. The September meeting will also be held via Zoom. The join up information will be provided in advance of the meeting on the meeting agenda. This will be published on Wednesday 16th September and the meeting minutes will be uploaded shortly afterwards for those unable to attend afterwards.

Please note that although we do not meet in August, we are still active!

Kind regards,

Laura

Clerk – Leigh Parish Council
