Weeping window

Our 'weeping window' poppies for remembrance of all those that died in WW1 from our villages looked quite nice (not as good as the original Tower of London version but still enough to make you think about the impact of the war on all the small communities we live amongst.

We didn't manage to complete the poppies on our unit meeting but several of you said you would like to do so on Thursday 1 November. 

I suggest that as there are not many of us likely to be available, we meet at my house at 7pm (a bit earlier and a bit more comfortable) for an hour and a half to see if we can complete the 207 needed just for our villages.

Please phone me (or text) to say you intend to come! If there are not enough to be worthwhile I'll then be able to contact you, and if there are too many for my dining room we can relocate and meet at the hut after all

This is what we should be aiming for...

Remembrance 100 years

Its is nearly 100 years since the end of the great War to End All Wars...

To commemorate this anniversary we will as always march in Baschurch with the British Legion in the village Remembrance Parade. 

To mark the centenary, I thought we could do something a bit more. The Imperial War Museum is maintaining an archive of data on the War Memorials across the UK. Many of our village memorials are recorded but not all and for some not all the data is recorded.
Please visit your local memorial and record the number of names, and the condition and take a photo. We can then ensure that our memorials are properly archived to the data will be available in another 100 years time.
Please bring as much data as you can to our meeting on Thursday 25 October. Any images you can put on a memory stick would be good!

Pumpkin head

The nights are drawing in and its time to protect ourselves from bad spirits and rebellious conspirators... what better than pumpkin dragons - bring a pumpkin and a modelling knife on 18 Oct and we'll make dragons to protect our hut...

Hmmm... maybe thats a bit optimistic...

Game on!

By popular request we have booked the sports barn for indoor games!
Bring a game! at the usual time, meeting at the hut, and then walking down to the old sports barn...
