A Big Thank You to everyone who attended the village Safari Supper last Saturday.
We had a great time dodging the showers to get to our respective hosts where we were greeted with warm welcomes and delicious food!
Particular thanks go to all our hosts and pudding providers – the event couldn’t go ahead without you, and to our lovely local, The Cherington, for looking after us at the end of the evening.
Best of all we raised £771 for The Hall and Playing Field funds.
Thanks again …. And hopefully see you all again next year!
The third public meeting on this topic was convened by our local MP, Manuela Perteghella, to call Severn Trent Water to account for failure to resolve sewage and flooding problems in Cherington and Stourton.

Join us on Saturday at The Hall on 16th August for an open-air Performance of “Three Men In A Boat”, adapted from the classic book by Jerome K. Jerome.

July Coffee Shop Cancelled / Volunteers Required for Future Coffee Mornings
Sadly, July’s coffee shop at The Hall has had to be cancelled due to a shortage of helpers.
If we are unable to recruit more volunteers there will be no more monthly coffee mornings at The Hall. This would be a shame as it is an important social event, particularly for the community’s older residents.
If you can spare some time once a month on a Saturday morning and would like to join the rota to help out please contact Christine Dudfield on 07866 127409 or email at christinedudfield53@gmail.com.
There is still time to book up for the Cherington and Stourton Safari Supper!
This year’s Safari Supper, which is on Saturday July 19th at 7pm, is a great way to meet new neighbours and catch up with those you already know.
If you would like to volunteer to host either a starter or main course for between 4 to 6 guests, or donate a pudding that would be great. But it is perfectly ok if you would just like to come along and join in the fun.
Please let us know by replying to one of the email addresses below also stating any dietary requirements. For hosts, remember it’s about the people not the cooking – a simple meal is all that’s required and main course hosts get one free ticket
The evening will kick off at 7pm, at Jacques Barn, Stourton with an aperitif to get you in the mood! You will then be told where you are going for your starter.
Starter hosts are given the list of where their guests are going for their main course. You will be with entirely different people.
It’s excellent value at £20 per head and the money we raise helps to fund our our fabulous Hall and Playing Field.
NB Guests are requested to bring their own wine.
Please contact Sally sallyclubley@gmail.com or Sue sueeileenmaaz@gmail.comby July 13th to register your interest, stating whether you are offering to host a starter or main course, supplying a pudding or just participating, and any dietary requirements.
We look forward to enjoying a fun night with you all!
