Burtle PCC Games Evening

Over 60 people participated and enjoyed an unusual evening playing various games and activities including Jenga, bar skittles, labyrinth, connect 4, draughts, snakes and ladders and many more.  With a raffle and a tasty Ploughman's Supper to round off the evening a total of almost £400 was raised to help with the much need church renovations and maintenance work scheduled for this year.

Many thanks to all who helped organise and to those adventurous enough to participate.

Looking forward to next week already, Charlotte & Angela

Interested to read Charlotte's contribution from Fairview House. I taught at the school until about 1986. We lived at the house when we first moved to Burtle. It was then owned by a colleague of mine Steve Chinn. I don't suppose anyone would remember me but we have very fond memories of or time in Burtle.

Morning Burtle,

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has made us feel so welcome to teh village. We have been here 3 months or so now, and in the last 24hrs I have had sweet peas and green beans delivered to my door - where else would you get such a community spirit - so, thank you!

Also, as most of you know I have 3 small children and have now had a chance to explore the local area - to this point, has anyone or has there every been a playgroup at Burtle village hall? If not, would people be interested ? Who would I need to speak to to find out more about setting one up?? Let me know your thoughts.........

Hi to everyone in Burtle. We would just like to thank you all for making us feel welcome over the last year. We cant afford to live in the village, but bought four and a half acres of land from Heather last May. We have been very busy with tree management and fencing, gates, rhyne dredging, drove upkeep etc. But we have still found plenty of people to stop and pass the time of day with us, filling us in on local knowledge. We were born into farming village communities, but circumstances dictated that we have lived in the town for a good many years. Being accepted in the village makes us feel the way it used to be growing up in the middle of nowhere, but always surrounded by family.We enjoyed being able to come to the recent Barn dance, and chatting to people. Thanks especially to Heather for selling us land in such a beautiful area, and the support she has given to us. If we can help with anything that needs doing, please let us know. See you soon, walking the dogs, riding the bikes or taking the pony out in the cart.  Gilbert and Jane
