Welcome back to the BUZZ Roundup – keeping you in touch with news and events in our wonderful village, whatever the weather.
The sunshine made a rare appearance today as many villagers, representatives of the Sappers, and others gathered at Stocks Green for the RAF KEEVIL Annual Service of Remembrance led this year by Canon Richard East (see here for more information on this important event in our village history).

Parish Matters
The next Ordinary Meeting of the Parish Council is this Monday 6th September 7.30pm in the village hall Agenda Agenda for September 6th 2021. Draft minutes of previous meetings are also available on the PC website.
And finally…
Our lovely tea and chat afternoons ceased in early 2020 due to the covid-19 pandemic, and now after many years with a teapot in her hand, Pauline Bennett has passed the apron to Bob Ayres, who will be relaunching next month as the 1st TUESDAY CLUB on October 5th 2.30-4pm in the village hall. Come and join your neighbours for a cup of tea or coffee, a bit of cake, and some friendly conversation… very informal, just turn up, everyone welcome! (don’t forget the Post Office is also open)…
That’s all for now folks – find us on Facebook for real-time discussions on Keevil Village, marketplace on For Sale, Free or Wanted in Keevil, or wander down memory lane on Keevil Memories… thank you for all your support, and if you have any news, pictures or stories to share, don’t hesitate to get in touch
