Coming soon – Peasmarsh Lunch Club: Local charity Hands of Hope is starting a new club for older people in September. It will be held in Peasmarsh Memorial Hall each month and will include a healthy 2 course lunch, entertainment, raffle and a chance to make new friends. Transport will be available. More details to follow in September. The charity is currently also seeking volunteers to lend a helping hand at the club – if you have a few spare hours a month please either e-mail [email protected] or phone 01424 834768 for more information.

Update on the Recreation Ground: Sadly, the Beckley Rangers football team which has been using our pitch is disbanding. Do you know of a team (adult or junior) looking for a “home”? Get in touch with Sammie Richards at [email protected] or post a message on our facebook page Peasmarsh Village NEW recreation ground. The litter problem is getting worse. The committee is taking steps to get a regular collection, but this won’t help unless users of the grounds put their rubbish in the bin. There have also been instances of people dumping domestic waste there which the committee has had to pay to have removed. Work on the fencing for the playspace is in hand. We urgently need more committee members. If you are interested please contact Sammie (above) or [email protected] or [email protected]

CHURCH SERVICES: Sunday, August 5. 8am Holy Communion at Beckley. 10am Holy Communion at Peasmarsh. Families with children, however small, will always receive a friendly welcome at any of our 10.00 am services. There are activities and people on hand to keep young ones occupied in the children’s areas.
