As you will read on the home/news page, this Sunday morning there is a Village yard sale in aid of the Water Appeal. There are four main sites around the village, selling everything from books and music to children’s toys and furniture. Each pitch will have a large poster clearly stating that all proceeds will be in aid of the church water appeal.
We have received enquiries from people planning to use their yards, and keeping their own profits. As we originally negotiated this with Brian Allen as a charity event, the PCC would ask, if this is your plan, would you kindly give your pitch fee to the car boot as it is their advertising that is bringing people into the village.
Thank you for your continued support and co-operation.

‘Hello, I wonder if you can help me please, ? Last night, Saturday 18th September ’10, a 4×4 vehicle reversed into my parked vehicle, a light blue Honda sports car at my home address, 1 Church Lane, Alstonefield, causing damage to the bodywork. My house is on the road leading down to the church and a line of vehicles were parked on there from early evening until approx. 9.30 pm (The 4×4 owner had the vehicle parked from before approx 7.00pm to 9.30pm) and I am assuming they were attending the concert that was being held at St Peters Church. Unfortunately, I do not know the full details of the vehicle that caused the damage other than it was a 4×4 in a ‘ Royal Blue ‘ colour, without the spare wheel on the rear door type possibly and the part registration may have been FD06 ???. It was the last car parked in the line on the right hand side facing the church and I would be very grateful if anyone could provide me with any information in order I can make contact with the driver, I am sure the incident happened inadvertently and the 4×4 driver is probably unaware that damage was caused to my vehicle. If any residents have any information regarding this incident, would you please contact me either on the above email  ddress or alternatively on my mobile number 07766078369. I realise this is probably a ‘ long shot ‘, but any information you can provide me with would be very helpful. Regards Brian Curtis

Have any of you received an email from microsoft requesting details? Such as date of birth, passwords etc…

This does not feel right. They are asking for this information so to update their system..

Is it dodgy or is it just me???

Hello everyone,
I would like you all to know that myself and a few other parents from Ilam school plan to do a charity climb of the three highest peaks in Great Britain; Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell in England and Snowdon in Wales. We hope to be able to climb these mountains and travel between them all in the short time of 24 hours
We are putting ourselves through this ordeal to raise money for laptop computers for the children of Ilam School,(where several of the children from Alstonefield attend.)
Please help and support our future generations by sponsoring our attempt at this challenge.
Donations can be made by following the following link: http://www.justgiving.com/ilam3peaks
