1. Gardening Club
Hello_everyone,
Well, we are halfway through the year already. It makes you wonder where the time has gone. As some of you will know, this year, 2012, is the 50th Anniversary of the Club's formation. Your committee has decided to celebrate the event with an evening at a local hostelry. As a way of thanking loyal members, the meal/drinks will be subsidised from the Club funds. The event is likely to take place in October, so watch this space for further bulletins.
There are no Speakers arranged for July and August so there won't be the normal Club Meetings. The next meet will be 26th September. More details will emerge in later editions of the Cherry News. For more info ring Alan on 750349

3. Cherry Willingham WI
There is no meeting of the WI in August, but a visit is scheduled to the LINCOLNSHIRE LIFE MUSEUM on 8th August as an evening meeting please put it in your diaries.
The June meeting began with the usual business during which final
arrangements were made for the evening visit to Minting Park Farm later this month. We are to take part in the Community Gala on 1 July and a team has been entered for the Midsummer Madness Quiz at the Cherry Tree. Members are also entering exhibits in the Lincolnshire Show as well as baking cakes for both the refreshment tent at the show and also for St Peter and St Paul’s Church Summer Fair on 7 July.
The speaker, Sue Hawksmoon, gave a fascinating talk on felt craft
explaining the process from wisps of un-spun wool to the finished object. She demonstrated the process of wet felting and we were able to share in the making of beads. Sue brought many varied examples of her work including felt flowers, jewellery, pictures, headbands and purses and members took the opportunity to buy some of the items. Her latest project is making wedding bouquets, buttonholes and corsages from felt which are very attractive and can be kept as heirlooms. Sue then judged the competition ‘A craft item’ and the winners were Margaret White, Cynthia Field and Hazel Larcombe. Janet Wheeler gave a vote of thanks.
After this we celebrated the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee with wine and light refreshments provided by the committee. The evening concluded with a showing of Anne Driver’s witty compilation of activities and outings that our branch had taken part in during 20011.
Robert Myers will be talking about the history of the well known Myers Bakery at the next meeting on 11 July. The competition is to be a favourite cake recipe.

10. EDITORIAL
Jubilee Celebration
How nice to share the spirit of the occasion. There is a nice account of the party enjoyed by residents and friends of Ash Grove who celebrated the Jubilee. (see pages 6 & 7)
I am glad to receive this report on a Jubilee street party. I am sure there were many but they were not reported to me in spite of an appeal for news of them. I understand that a Ceilidh (Kaylee) was held at the Village hall which served both Reepham and Cherry Willingham. It was an event where people felt unable to sit down due to the excitement of the music and dance—a ‘right knees up’ I heard.
Police Notice - I have been asked by more than one resident to comment on blocked pathways and it is mostly common sense and shouldn’t need saying but we have received a notice from Nettleham Police Headquarters for us to display which sums it up .(See page 28).
Village Changes afoot?
Discussions have taken place between Lincolnshire Co-operative, Cherry Willingham Parish Council and the CW 2020 Group on the potential of
exchanging existing sites by relocating the library into the Co-op building and enabling the Co-op to build a new retail unit on the library site. These discussions are on-going.
Village Villainy afoot?
After the Parish Council went to the trouble of clearing the pathway from Minster through to Hawthorn Road of debris and brambles etc. person or persons unknown have chosen to dump circa 4 barrow-loads of what seems to be the clearing of a garden pond. This is a very anti-social act. On the same note the path from Croft Lane toward Reepham down the side of the Railway has been surfaced for some 600 yards at a cost of approximately £10,000, please don’t let this be similarly spoiled. Caring citizens please be vigilant as such acts are prosecutable.
