CLEAN THE VILLAGE IN THE SUN

You’ll remember we had to postpone Spring Cleaning the Village. It’s a bit late for spring cleaning now, but the event has been rescheduled for this coming Saturday 8th June 2013. Based at the Jubilee Garden from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm, come along and give fellow residents a hand doing some litter-picking or a spot of weeding (or both!). There’s a BBQ from 12:30. Everyone is welcome, including children and well-behaved dogs.
If you’re planning to litter pick, we should be able to provide litter pickers, bags and gloves of all sizes. If you’d prefer to do a spot of gardening, then bring some tools with you.

Contact fhra-planning-environment@flackwellheath.net or fhra-decorations@flackwellheath.net if you have any questions.

THE CHERRY FAYRE

FHRA will be running two stalls at the Cherry Fayre on Sunday 7th July 2013 combining a couple of games with the usual Membership information / discussion point. Are you able to give us an hour of your time on the day to assist? It really isn’t particularly onerous; in fact it’s usually very good fun, a chance to chat to FHRA Committee members and other residents of our village. If you can help, please e-mail me: fhra-secretary@flackwellheath.net.

THE VILLAGE PICNIC

We hope you all enjoyed the picnic held last Sunday on “Big Lunch” day! It was lovely to see so many groups of friends and families scattered over the Recreation Ground, enjoying their picnics in the sunshine. We estimate over 200 people attended, with the youngsters taking advantage of the free bouncy assault course and good old-fashioned races – sack, egg & spoon and dressing up races. Thanks too to Chepping Wycombe Parish Council for bringing along initial ideas and plans for the playground rejuvenation project. If you did attend, and didn’t give us any feedback on the day but would like to, we’re interested to know what you liked, what could be improved. Please e-mail me: fhra-secretary@flackwellheath.net

THE OLD NURSERY SITE INQUIRY

The Inquiry started as scheduled on Tuesday 21st May and continued until lunchtime on the Friday. The Inspector heard 2 ½ days of evidence for the Old Nursery site and the Hedgerow site as the two appeals had been combined. The site visits were made on the Thursday afternoon. The Inspector also visited two other sites that have recently been given permission to site mobile homes. We think that the Travellers made it clear they would prefer to stay at the Hedgerow site if only temporary permission is given. We expect a decision approximately two months from the end of the Inquiry after the Inspector has weighed up all the evidence given. If you’d like further information on this issue, please e-mail Carolyn on fhra-planning-environment@flackwellheath.net

The Executive Committee are constantly looking at ways to raise the profile of the Residents' Association so that we can attract many more members from the village.  Representing a larger proportion of the Residents will give more weight to our discussions with and representations to people who affect some of the decisions made about our village by county, district and parish councils.  More members mean more ideas for how we can add to village life and foster greater community spirit.
 
If you have experience in the field of publicity AND have a little time on your hands, could you be the Publicist the FHRA need?  Please contact Pam Mannering or Chloë Barrow to discuss further.  We'd love to hear your thoughts!
