Dogs, and Their Owners, More Than Welcome!

Four-legged friends are companions, carers, guides, or simply members of the family. If you have one, does it deserve a reward? Maybe a rosette. Maybe just the fun of being there. Maybe the excitement of meeting fellow-four-legged friends.
Whatever your dog, be she pretty, be he handsome, be it the scruffiest ever, be it one you couldn’t resist so you rescued it, the one that’s best at catching biscuits, or the one you put in fancy dress, you and your faithful friend are invited to enter the Dog Show at Lydbrook Fete.
There are rosettes to be gained, and fun to be had, and other dog-lovers to meet. Come along and have a go. Details are all on the poster above.
Last year’s show at the fete was very popular. Let’s see if we can do even better this year, shall we?

Memorial Hall AGM

The Memorial Hall is a venue with great potential. It’s used at present for the Lydbrook Players’ stage shows, the Parish Council meetings, some groups, including badminton and yoga, and for occasional parties and wedding receptions, and as a polling station for elections. Prior to Covid, it was in use almost every evening, but that outbreak changed a lot of good habits.
We, the Trustees, are trying to make the hall as accessible and popular as possible. It serves the village and surrounding area and can be used for many different purposes. But we would welcome some fresh people, particularly some younger people, on the committee. We meet on the 1st Tuesday of each month, as a rule, usually for around an hour. So, it’s not an onerous duty.
If you’re someone looking to make a contribution to the village amenities, please come along to the AGM, as advertised above. The meeting will be relatively short and is an ideal opportunity for new people to learn about what we do, ask questions, and put themselves forward as trustees if they wish. We’re a friendly group and don’t stand on ceremony, preferring to get things done in the best way we can.

Lydbrook Fete Returns!

After last year’s great success, the fete is being run again. The date for your diaries is Sunday 13th July. Come along and have fun while raising funds for the children’s play area.

Watch this space for further information, to be posted over the next few days.

Baker? Strong-man/woman? Dog owner?
If you like a challenge, you’ll find something here for you in the next few posts.

This Year’s AGM is Approaching.

We have lost one of our stalwart trustees recently. The committee is an entirely voluntary, unpaid system of ensuring the Memorial Hall and the Recreation Field with its community centred car park are both properly maintained.
Much of the work to keep things going is done by committee members at no cost to the charity. We could do with some new members to ensure we continue to provide the sort of amenities the village wants.
So, if you’re available, willing, and able, why come along to the AGM and ask whatever questions you need, and maybe put yourself forward as a committee member? You’ll be made welcome. Thank you.
