A little update on the new village hall playground - re opening now Tues 6/10 when the temporary fencing will be taken away .

Dear all
We've been working hard to try and reschedule the dog show we couldn't hold at the fete due to the heat, but unfortunately we've not been able to find a date that works before the weather would become too unpredictable.

So we've taken the difficult decision to fully cancel the show for this year.

We have everything crossed that we'll be able to hold it again at next year's fete.

Apologies to you all for doing this, but particularly to our amazing dog show sponsors: Tames Tree Services, John Conlan, K9 Puppy Paws Fertility, Askew Hawkins, Springwell Vets.

While it's looking like temperatures will be thankfully lower for our fete tomorrow, it's still going to be extremely hot for our four-legged friends - and so we've decided that the right thing to do is to postpone our dog show until later in the year. More details on that to follow.

Sad as this is, we're still excited about everything else that will be taking place at the fete - including the classic car display, RAF flypast, welly wanging, coconut shy, bar, ice creams, barbecue and so much more.

Our village hall stays really cool in the heat, too - and that's where you'll be able to take a break with a slice of cake and a cup of tea (or juice!).

We hope to see you all there tomorrow (Saturday), 12:30-4:30pm at the Bellingdon & Asheridge Village Hall (HP5 2XU).

Will have a stand at the Bellingdon and Asheridge fête and hope you all will come to see and discuss what , how and why they do it.

Plus hope some of you will decide to join us at the roadside, we are still in need of volunteers. Our results show that this project has reduced speeding quite considerably and the challenge now is to maintain this achievement ; we need your help.

For the children - competition that asks them to design and create a poster on Road Safety. No AI please!! Any size from A5 to A3. We will judge them in 3 age groups: 5 to 7, 8 to 10 and 11 upwards so there will there will be 3 prizes and winning posters will be sent to the police officers who run this project and suggest that the children's work can be reproduced to emphasise relevant police literature.

To get the posters to us -
entries finished beforehand can be brought to our stand at the fête or posters may be created on the day at our stand with paper and pens etc provided, and a deadline of July 1st for posters after the fête . All posters must have the artist's name and age on the back, as well as your phone number or email address.

Thank you and best regards, we look forward to seeing the Road Safety entries!
