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!

Your chance to suggest Improvements to our local highways
The Parish Council have an opportunity to apply for funds from the Warwickshire Highways Community Action Fund (HCAF) to improve the highways in our area. They would like ideas and suggestions from parishioners as to what these could be.
For more information see below from Parish Clark, Dawn Fisher.
‘The Warwickshire Highways Community Action Fund is a new £1m investment to support and enable local communities to undertake changes and improvements to the highway in their area.
The fund empowers local areas to bring forward their ideas and work in collaboration with Warwickshire County Council (WCC) to make them a reality.
The HCAF is designed to be a flexible fund, supporting only capital investments that enhance highways. It cannot be used for studies or plans. While local areas determine their proposals, the fund is expected to support projects such as:
Local highway maintenance: Resurfacing, pavement improvements, cycle routes, footpaths, etc.
Road safety measures: Speed reduction initiatives, improved signage, school zones, safe routes to school.
Environmental enhancements: Gateway signs, public realm improvements, signage, and waymarking.
Climate change adaptation: Local drainage improvements.
The anticipated maximum grant per area is £25,000, unless for exceptional circumstances.
