Are there any volunteers for No Man's Land?

Firstly, a big thank you to Merv for strimming No Man's Land recently.

Secondly, the Council have stopped cutting the grass on No Man’s Land and it is getting very wild.
Ewa has asked if any of villagers would like to volunteer to keep it in check – it will probably need strimming every two weeks or so during the peak growing season and less frequently at other times. Ideally, a couple of villagers to share the task.

Mobile car wash in St Hilary

Hi guys,I don’t know if many of you know me but I’ve been working behind the bar in The Bush and living above it for the past year.

I’ve decided to dedicate my free time to a little start up venture, valeting cars. I’m offering this as a mobile valeting service and to the St Hilary community only at the moment. This is good news for you, as you won’t have to move an inch to make your car look brand new again. Would love you all to go and check out my page TBW Valet and hope to be hearing from some of you soon.

St Hilary Forum – Supporting the Village

or, demystifying the elusive organisation!

Can you answer the question “what is the St Hilary Forum”?  Probably not.  So here is your crib sheet.

The short answer is that the Forum helps projects and ideas to come about by:

1. Providing village insurance for events and activities
2. Having a constitution, necessary for applying for grants
3. Managing a bank account to pay for, build up and hold reserves for village equipment

The Forum does not (to date) hold or undertake activities itself.  But the above three “enablers” means that lots of villagers can.

Walks and strolls

• Strolling over The Clump for a takeaway coffee at Stalling Café or round the Garn or to Beaupre Castle
