BUZZ ROUNDUP

Posted on by Sarah J Dow

Welcome back to the BUZZ Roundup – keeping you in touch with happenings in Keevil village come rain or shine…

First, we’re thinking sausage and bacon! Breakfast in Church is back on Saturday morning (yes that’s probably now today) from 9-11am, do come along for a bap and a chat, all the profits go to our Church Restoration Fund and time spent with village friends is always a great way to pass an hour or so 🙂

And lets not forget our WI are holding their Autumn Afternoon Tea in the village hall on this Saturday afternoon from 2.30pm – plenty of fabulous cake to round off that breakfast, and only £4.50 for refillable teacups and cake plates. Proceeds from the afternoon will help us make a donation to Stepping Stones Trowbridge and to our own funds towards community events. Children are very welcome, there will be a cake decorating table where they can decorate their own Autumn cakes.

Coming up…
  • Keevil Wine Appreciation Club are holding their next meeting on 18th October based on lovely Massaya wines of various styles from years 2000 to 2022 – still some spaces available so do get in touch with Kim or David if you fancy a wee tipple or two in good company;
  • The Walking Group is planning a smashing walk around Westwood, Avoncliffe and Iford with lunch at the New Inn – walk leader Colin is offering either the 23rd, 24th or 25th October. Please let him know which day you prefer and he will select the most popular and let you know. Full deets on the page;
  • Tick tock – deadline for the November Parish News is Thursday 24th October at 5pm;
  • Don’t forget the annual QUIZ AND FISH & CHIP SUPPER NIGHT on Saturday 26th October 7pm in the Village Hall, all in aid of village hall funds.
  • The Mobile Library returns to Stocks Green on Monday 4th November 10:35-10:55am;
  • Remember remember the FIFTH of November – it’s FIRST TUESDAY again! time for a cuppa, great cake and a catch-up with friends and neighbours in the village hall 2.30–4pm;
  • ‘Come and Dine on Cheese and Wine @ Willow House’, Pat’s fundraiser for Wiltshire Air Ambulance on Saturday 9th November – £10 per person in advance.
  • And the swansong MURDER MYSTERY production of Adieu Adieu by the Keevil Drama Group on 23rd November is likely to be a sell-out so make sure to get your seats booked! 7.30pm in the village hall including a light meal and dessert – deets on the page.

CORRECTION NOTE: Rachel asked us to highlight a date anomaly in the October magazine: The Keevil Singers Christmas Concert should read Friday 13th December (not 20th).

SAVE THE DATE!

Parish Matters

The next Parish Council Meeting will be Monday 4th November in the village hall. Remember this meeting will start at the earlier time of 7pm so that residents can discuss matters relating to the Coronation Commemorative Plaque in an extended Public Forum – agenda will be here along with a briefing paper. Also at that meeting, Councillors will be discussing this years S137 donations and the next financial year’s budget, so whether as part of an established village group or you have a new village project in mind, send requests and suggestions to the Clerk by Friday October 25th – more at keevilpc.com/notices/

Also don’t forget to fill out the survey on the use of the Banfield Recreation Ground that came with your Parish News – deadline is 19th October, dropping off points in the magazine article.

And finally…

We were so sad to hear that Pat Carpenter died very recently. Barbara Lewendon has asked us on behalf of the family to pass on the funeral details:
Tuesday 5 November, 12:15pm at the Waterside Chapel, Westerleigh Crematorium, Westerleigh Rd, Bristol BS37 8QP, with the Wake at 1:15pm in The Rose & Crown, 68 Parkfield Road, Pucklechurch, Bristol BS16 9PS
If anyone is going to come can they let Tracy (Jim’s daughter) or Barbara know so numbers can be passed to Pat’s daughters.

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
