This year is Fleckney Village Cricket Club's 50th year, and a lot is going on.

Dear Editor

Producing food causes over one third of harmful global greenhouse gas emissions according to Pesticide Action Network UK.

We are delighted to announce that our CoCo mornings have started up again. Held on the third Wednesday of the month between 10.30am and 12.00pm. It was really lovely to see so many people joining us. As the weather improves and we can once again use our beautiful little garden, I am sure we will see many more people from the surrounding villages joining us, either as they take a ‘doggy walking’ stop or just decide to pop in for free refreshments!

Inland Waterways Association (IWA) Leicestershire Branch are planning to hold a Waterways Festival to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the first Festival of Boats and Arts, which was held at Market Harborough in 1950.

For our article, this month we are focusing on the work of one of our partner agencies – The Bridge (East Midlands)

On Sunday, 1 June 11-5pm a range of gardens in our village will be open to visitors. Refreshments will be available and (weather permitting) a display of classic cars! Entry is £5 (children under 16 free)  Proceeds from the day will support St Andrew’s church and village projects. Please spread the word. If you are able to give an hour or so of your time to help out — serving refreshments, parking cars, marshalling, etc, please contact Jayne Huxley on 01858 545 714 or jaynehuxley102@gmail.com
