We recently had a very successful tidy up session on the playing field. We would like to thank Graham Keat, Dave Townsend, Mike Waller, Mel and Adie Hellier and Karen Whalley for giving up their time, skills and tools and helping us with this.
Thanks also to everybody who supported our Race Night. To our race sponsors Polkinghorne Livestock Haulage, St Tudy Community Shop, Tony Jeffs, Woodland Spirit, See Clean, Mark Andrew Ltd, Adam Honey Carpentry and Joinery and T J Burden Plumbing and Heating. To everybody who came along and placed bets and enjoyed the races. As a fund raiser the evening was very successful and we raised £850 which will go towards the maintenance of the playing field and play equipment.
We currently have four trustees and are looking for more to join our trust. We are looking for people that are enthusiastic, have good judgement and a commitment to our mission to create and maintain the playing field for everyone. If you have any particular skill ie finance, fundraising, digital marketing then even better. The trustees meet on average four times a year plus occasional support with fundraising and other activities. If you don’t feel you could be a trustee but could help practically we have a steering committee and new members are always welcome. If you are interested please contact the trust at [email protected] or speak to any of our trustees Sarah Northcott, Dave Holborow, Karen Whalley and Becky Shute.
The Community Hub has now been operating for eighteen months. The pre school are the main users of the building and have their own dedicated area. St Tudy School use the community room for their lunches. Another regular user is Adam Berreen of Forma and Function Fitness who runs exercise classes. The community room can be hired by anybody and prices start at just £20.
Now that the hub is operating successfully our focus is on improving the area around the hub. The old pre school was successfully removed and has been transformed into Whitemoor Village Hall. We have had quotes to demolish the old canteen which unfortunately contains asbestos. The minimum cost will be about 18k. We would like to level the area, landscape the grounds and create sheds for storage for village groups, bicycle parking and additional car parking. This all comes as an additional cost. We are looking at grants but so far have been unsuccessful. If you feel you could help towards these costs then please contact the trust.
One way people could help is to purchase a 100 Club number. For £2 a month your number is entered in a draw and three prizes of £25, £15 and £10 are awarded. If you are interested contact Sarah Northcott or Angela Hocking.
100 Club October winners were Jo Mornington-West, Julie and Adrian Brazier and Angela Vanderplank.
Finally our next fund raising activity is Bingo on Friday December 11th in St Tudy Village Hall. Eyes down at 7pm.
