Welcome back to the BUZZ Roundup – keeping you in touch with happenings in Keevil village come Christmas rain or shine…
First, do not miss out on your last chance for a bacon or sausage butty before Christmas! Breakfast in Church is back on Saturday morning (yes that’s probably today by now) from 9-11am, I expect there will be a festive twist, so don your silly santa hats and 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 
Still to come on the Christmas & New Year calendar…
- BREAKFAST IN CHURCH CHRISTMAS SPECIAL Saturday 14th December 9-11am in St Leonard’s, come join us for a special Christmas Breakfast, only £3 a head (no need to book);
- CHRISTMAS LUNCH Wednesday 18th December from noon in St Leonards Church – a delicious, traditional three-course Christmas lunch with coffee & mints £12.50 each – book with Geoff and bring your own tipples;
- CHRISTMAS PUB NIGHT Friday 20th December from 6.30pm in the village hall: The George will be open for Christmas again this year! Three Daggers Real Ale, Lagers and Wine, free soft drinks, free admission, and everyone gets free sausage rolls and mince pies with first purchase! Just rock up and settle in for a natter with friends – families and children welcome, pub games available;
- NEW YEAR’S EVE DINNER DANCE Tuesday 31st December doors 7.30pm in the village hall – there are only a few places left so if you’re up for it, call Geoff West pronto! Tickets £12.50 each 🙂
- MOBILE LIBRARY – the next visit is 30th December 10.35 – 10.55 outside Rose & Crown Cottages at Stocks Green

Parish Matters
The next Ordinary Meeting will be Monday 6th January 2025, when S137 donations, the next financial year’s budget, and setting the Precept will be key agenda items.
In other news, the Parish Council has a new domain name! In line with the latest guidance and regulatory changes for smaller authorities, the Parish Council applied to the Central Digital & Data Office (CDDO) who had set up a small fund to help Parish Councils own and operate a .gov.uk domain. You can find everything in place in its new home at KEEVILPARISHCOUNCIL.GOV.UK, including councillors new email addresses here. We’ll be keeping the old address for a while so any emails sent there will be redirected.
And a quick reminder about bin collection changes over Christmas and New Year – pop your postcode in here to check the dates for your property…
And finally…
Well, two ‘finallies’ really – a big thank you to Andie who has been busy on the site creating a new section for poop bags here, and updating the WI recipe page here, and to Joni who keeps things ticking over behind the scenes 🙂
Plus…. A Royal Invitation!
Well there’s something to shout about – Keevil’s Choir Leader Denise Drew recently had the honour of being invited to join the the Royal Carol Service at Westminster Abbey! Here are some photos of her amazing, memorable day… apparently the Christmas trees are some of many inside the abbey donated by King Charles from the Royal Windsor Great Park estate. Well done Denise, and thank you for everything you do for our fabulous Keevil Singers…
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
