TESCO BUS CANCELLED
The TESCO bus, taking folk on Tuesday mornings from Fladbury to Evesham and back, was withdrawn last week with no notice. Several enquiries were made by telephone but never reaching the actual superstore in Evesham. A few people in the village have no cars and we have no local bus service. What can we do about it?

GAMES CAFE
As many of you know, we continued playing board games, bowls and table tennis for a few weeks during the first lockdown but, as restrictions became more difficult, we stopped meeting in the Hall and held one or two games sessions outside. And some people have begun to play board games again in their own homes. Now organiser Sally Hutchinson has emailed…..
“Shall we try a gathering on the playing field? Wednesday 28th July 10.30 to 12, weather permitting. Louise has offered to bring boule again and I promise to let you make your own decision about how close you want to sit and chat this time. I’m sure we’ll all be carrying masks around for a while yet and taking precautions, but we can enjoy some fresh air together, have a catch up chat and consider our future plans, for accessing games – including bowls and table tennis.
So dust off your thermos, find the sun screen – and bring a chair and a smile.”
If you want more information and would like to join in, please ring Sally on 861206.
FLADBURY CRICKET CLUB
Fladbury continued their inconsistent form in the Cotswold Hills League with a defeat at Leek Wootton on Saturday. Chasing a total of 282 posted by the home team, another depleted Fladbury side could only manage 170 all out in reply despite an inspired knock of 95 from Ryan Dixon.
Sunday’s scheduled home match against Blakedown was cancelled by the opposition. It would appear that, despite an earlier start time having been arranged, football mania won the day and they refused to come out to play.
Monday’s game against tourists FAS did go ahead. Having been set a target of 162 from their 40 overs , the visitors paced their reply perfectly and got over the line with 2 overs remaining for the loss of just 2 wickets.
Next Saturday 17 July sees a break in the League calendar with a home friendly against Warwick CC starting at 1.30pm. This is followed on Sunday 18 July by a visit from Clent CC starting at 2pm.

FLADBURY WILL gently RE-CONNECT…..
The planning group for our post-lockdown celebration over the weekend of 7 and 8 August met by Zoom yesterday evening. In the light of the caution urged by the prime minster after the lifting of restrictions on Monday 19 July and government advice, together with the ongoing sharp rise in infections, it was agreed that the big social gatherings – the Saturday evening thanksgiving and party with live music and the garden lunchtime barbeque on Sunday – will not go ahead BUT on Saturday 7 August gardens will be opened, table top and garage sales will be held and boat rides can be booked! Arrangements are also being made for newcomers to be introduced to each other and to longer-term residents and to village activities as they gradually start again. Further information will be circulated soon as Fladbury gently re-connects, with caution!
