Daffodils and crocuses are flowering in the grass verges and in the beds.
A real sign of spring.

This Camelia was donated by one of our supporters in memory of a friend. There are more flowers to come.
We have set the dates for planting the flower beds with summer bedding 26th and 27th May.

Would you like to sponsor a hanging basket or a planter to brighten the centre of Bishop’s Waltham through the summer and into the autumn?
Baskets are £55 and planter £70.

Quizzers working on the anagrams of famous people of British stars of TV, Stage and Screen, before the quiz got underway.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended the Quiz Evening on Saturday. We had 27 teams taking part, the most we have ever catered for.
There were rounds on Songs from the 60s, All Lost Souls – recognising photos of people who had died in 2023, Books, Cryptic European Cities, Cockney Rhyming Slang and the anagrams for people to work on throughout the evening.
The top three teams were:

Durley Ditherers with the Quiz Master (and our chairman rear right)

We raised a total of £1450 towards our running costs for the year ahead.
The raffle made £400, so thank you for your generosity.

On Sunday 3rd December boys and girls from all Beaver colonies gathered at the green on Victoria Road. Each one brought a trowel and a parent, some siblings came too. Within an hour over 100 daffodil bulbs had been planted in the grass towards the top of the slope. The bulbs were ones that we had dug out from two very overcrowded troughs near Costa.
Scout leaders provided hot chocolate and biscuits at the end. Just as we finished it began to rain.


As we were using “recycled” bulbs and as we planted them so late in the year they may not be too successful, but we will keep our fingers crossed.
