ALLOTMENTS: Quite a few huts were broken into recently.

Nothing serious was stolen but most of the locks were forced off with a spade stolen from one of the sheds.

It seems as though there were two men with a dog seen on the site. When they were approached they threatened to set their dog on the allotment holder.

CHURCHYARD conservation: Father Andrew Bishop published a very lovely article in the Basinga, with guidelines regarding the tending of graves.

If you do live out of the village and want to know more about the requirements, go along to the churchyard at 2pm on Thursday, when the Churchyard Conservation Society will be working.
