Volunteers Needed For Produce Show Preparation

The 23rd Bielby Produce Show will be held on Saturday 4th August 2012.

We are looking for volunteers to help put up the marquees in the church grounds on Thursday 2nd August from 6pm.

We may also need some helpers on the Friday daytime to put the tables into place and the cloths on the tables ready for the exhibits. We have a plan of the layout from last year so hopefully this is not too difficult a job!

Also Friday evening we may need help putting up the signing in & teas and coffee marquee if we haven't got it put up on the Thursday evening.

Let us know if you can help on the Thursday or Friday. Committee members include Richard and Christine, Janet, Graham, Peter Y, Jenny S and me (Sara). Thanks in advance.

Young Kitten Found

David & Julie have phoned to say that they have found a kitten and they were wondering if anyone has lost a kitten.

The kitten is quite young and is quite fluffy and a smokey black colour with a tortoiseshell front.

It has been at David & Julie's for over a week.

Please let us know if this is your kitten or you know who it belongs to. Thanks
