FLADBURY PARISH COUNCIL
After 12 months of Zoom meetings, the next Parish Council meeting will be held in person on Monday, May 17th at the Sports’ Pavilion commencing at 7.00 pm.
The pavilion can accommodate the members of the Council, with a one-way system, social distancing, hand sanitising, masks to be worn and ventilation through keeping the main doors open. On this basis all the PC members have agreed to attend. As it is a public meeting, the public are able to attend but, to meet the requirements, any visitors may have to sit outside. As things stand, the exercise will have to be repeated for the June meeting.

FLADBURY CRICKET CLUB
Rain washed out any hope of play in last Saturday’s league fixture at Fladbury and the Sunday friendly was cancelled by the opposition.
Hopefully it will be a different story this weekend with 2 more fixtures scheduled at Fladbury. Saturday’s game this week is a friendly against Warwick CC and Sunday sees the visit of Poppyfields CC. Both games are due to start at 2pm. No league game on Saturday is due to a re-organisation of fixtures by the Cotswold Hills League.
One can but hope the torrential downpours we have been experiencing may cease in time for the matches to go ahead.

I have taught and established clubs all over the U.K. and I’m really excited to be adding another in Fladbury in June. My art – Tang Soo Do – can be practiced by people of all ages. The emphasis is on building self confidence, self defence, fitness and good health”

A VERY BIG THANK YOU….
is what Sue and Rob Hiscocks asked me to say for them in KIT following the devastating fire at their home in Charlton. They are overwhelmed by the generosity, care and love which they have received from people in Charlton and surrounding villages. Sue is sorry she hasn’t thanked people personally – she and Rob, with the help of friends and neighbours, are very busy sorting out the debris remaining in the house. Charlton folk have washed clothes and kitchen utensils and ornaments and transported some furniture to the kind offer of storage facilities. Sadly, Sue and Rob have had to throw in a skip the charred remains of their albums, records and memories of family life and worldwide travels they have enjoyed. They are now hoping for news of where they will be living for the next 12 months for which they will need a settee, armchair, large dining table and chairs, king size bed and double bed, small dresser, lots of coat hangers and a coffee table.
As you can imagine, the paper work which Sue and Rob are having to deal with is huge so if you can help with any of these items, please email in Charlton – jdhawley72@gmail.com – or me, Jane, in Fladbury – pjbugg@btinternet.com.
GARDENING
· No mow May – dare you! If you leave the grass on your lawn to grow, wildflowers and weeds will grow too which are essential for our pollinating insects to keep us all alive! Even leaving a small circle or a couple of triangles is good and actually provides some colour and variety and beauty.

BIRDWATCHER SOUGHT – was it you?

Two of us were walking near the holiday park between Fladbury and Wyre Piddle and spoke to a woman who was bird watching and lives in Fladbury. Presumably she will get KIT.
