The annual Soapbox Derby was another brilliant day of thrilling racing, showcasing the village at its best and raising money for the Children’s Christmas Wish List charity.
Unfortunately, we had one accident but the safety car and first aider were quickly on the scene and decided that the driver should go to hospital to get checked out. He has a broken foot but is in good spirits and determined to come back faster next year.
Our junior race was very competitive and included our only female entrant and our youngest ever driver who was only 6!

The senior racing was also very speedy with sub 40 second times being clocked! The head to head races saw some very tight finishes.

There was a great turnout for the Annual Parish Assembly. 30 villagers assembled to hear updates on the parish plan and contribute their ideas.
The parish council asked Sarah Richardson, the co-ordinator of the parish plan update in 2021-2 to supervise the meeting. The formal proceedings were held and then Sarah organised an interactive session where residents could speak to parish councillors on their specific responsibilities and also add their thoughts and ideas in writing. Sarah will gather these altogether into a formal report which will be discussed at the 3 July meeting of the parish council.
Many thanks to Liz, and the parish council, for paying for, and organising the drinks and refreshments. The meeting was obviosuly a great way of engaging the village and the parish council will consider this in their forward planning.
Thanks to everyone who attended. This is the parish plan update:
