After a fun filled programme of events and tasters to which many came,
enjoyed and vowed to return, we will now begin to set things in
concrete with regular meetings, indoor sports and activities. You can
keep an eye on what is happening at your smart new hall by going to
www.littoncheney.org.uk If you, family, friends or colleagues would
like to book the hall please contact Wendy Taylor on 482532.
Brian and Jenny Prentice have won the award for Best Large Garden and Overall Best Garden in the annual competition held by the Melplash Agricultural Society.

"There were some exceptional gardens and in particular our overall winners Brian and Jenny Prentice whose garden of 1/3rd of an acre was outstanding. It displayed a bit of everything and showed their devotion and hands-on gardening expertise."

Crimes
The drivers mirror of a Renault Scenic was smashed whilst it was parked outside of Thorners C of E (VA) School in Litton Cheney between 3.15pm and 3.40pm on Thursday 21st May 2009
This week saw the handover of the new Litton and Thorner's Community Hall. John Salvetti has taken a few photos to help us all remember a remarkable day . . .
Present: Rosie Hallett, David & Janice Hearn, Gil Smith.
Apologies from: Mary Anderson.
This was the first meeting possible at TWH since the refurbishments there had been completed, and had been postponed from the previous week on that account (the first Monday in May having been a Bank Holiday).
The Treasurer, David Hearn, apologised for not having an itemised report of the accounts at the meeting, and will prepare them for the next meeting.
There was discussion on how we could show our pleasure at TWH being open again, and it was agreed that a small presentation will be made to Cassie at the dinner, to be organised by Janice & David.
It was arranged at the April meeting that the ‘Panoramic/Interpretive New Beginnings, Summer Solstice, Midsummer and Father’s Day Dinner’ should be at TWH, on Saturday 6 June, and a provisional booking was made with Cassie.
As TWH is now up and running, this booking is now definite, and it was decided that the timing will be 7pm for 7:30. We need to give Cassie the expected number attending, so Gil will email all members asking if they are intending to take part. Any visitors who would like to come should also make contact.
The next monthly meeting will be held on Monday 1st July.
The meeting closed at 21:00 hours.
