P. 5
We are missing seeing some of our village friends out and about lately but are very pleased
to hear they are all recovering well. We send our love to Anne Cadwallader, Pat Roberts and
Jaye Allison who have all been really poorly in recent weeks and we all hope they
continue to improve and are up to full speed very soon.
BON VOYAGE to our very own Rachael Briggs who has lived in the Pentre
for over 30years! ( Yes I know that’s got to be typing error as she can only be
around 27 – amazing!) Rachael will be greatly missed here in Leighton but is only moving to the not
so far off shores of Forden so hopefully we will still see her walking in the Redwoods just the same.
WELCOME to Chloe Andrews and Dylan Walton who are returning to the Pentre and will be
moving into No 1 in April.
WEDDING EXCITEMENT
It is a busy time in the Pentre as plans are well underway to celebrate the
wedding of Aled and Liz of No 2 Pentre. Aled and Liz will be married on Saturday
27th April at Garthmyl Hall and we all wish them and their children Peter and
Rose every happiness and feel sure they will have a wonderful day.
A photo of the family from a couple of years ago that deserves another airing!
WELCOME to Mike & Linda Patchett who have taken over the
Brooklyn Boarding Kennels and Cattery. They have spent the last 13 years running a boarding
kennels near Shrewsbury and coming to Brooklyn is part of their semi retirement plan where
they are looking forward to exploring our beautiful and scenic area. The refurbishment of the
kennels will be completed by Easter. More details next month and new contact details are in
the Trade Directory
COFFEE MORNING
Saturday 30th March
at 10am-12noon
The next Coffee Morning in Leighton Village Hall will
have plenty of great coffee, cakes, chatter and At the December Coffee Morning
Mothers Day posies to be enjoyed so please come
along to support the village hall to raise much needed funds.
We also have the added bonus of Phyllis Bayliss selling her little
knitted Easter ducks so come along for a treat.
LEIGHTON VILLAGE HALL
The Management Committee was very pleased to welcome an additional 7 villagers who came along to the recent Open
Meeting to help raise funds for Leighton Village Hall in the coming year. Lots of ideas were discussed and events planned
beginning with the Coffee Morning on the 30th March. Fundraising in this way allows us to keep the hiring charges as low as
possible as the village hall prides itself in maintaining the facilities to a high standard and strives to continually upgrade it.
It was suggested to use the funds from each event on a specific purchase or expense and therefore the 100 Club and the
Coffee Morning’s profit is to go towards the shortfall for the new Fire Door (cost £3,504) and the profit from the
forthcoming Pie & Pea Supper is to go to pay for the Electrical 3 Phase installation (costing £500) for the newly acquired
industrial dishwasher. The fundraising events later in the year will go towards the upgrading of the hall floor (approx
£3,400). Thank you to everyone for their support.
