Monday evenings – June and July

This summer we’re opening our doors to anyone over 16 who wants to try out the sport for free. Just come along to our clubhouse, on Tickers Folly Field, any Monday evening in June/July (except June 30). Please arrive around 5pm, or as soon after as possible; these open sessions will continue to 7pm or so, but we’ll pack up early if no-one turns up in the first hour.
No experience is necessary. We’ll provide all the equipment you need, teach you the basics if you’ve never played before, and coach you through a game of Kwik Croquet – a new version of the sport, especially designed for beginners. We only ask that you please wear flat-soled shoes, to protect the lawn.

Sunday 6th July, 2-4pm, Village Hall

Why not bring your child’s bike for a safety check? Our bike experts kindly looked at over 10 bikes last month. Also bring your household items including clothing, electrical, and gardening articles for mending and tools for sharpening. There may also be help for any IT problems on your phone or tablet. Refreshments available. Donations welcome to cover costs.

Saturday 7th June – Nature Reserve

Meet in the Village Hall car park at 9am and bring some binoculars. The walks will last about two hours. Six places still available. Email the secretary to book your place. These are free but we would welcome donations towards buying equipment for the reserve. Our reptile monitoring team is having success in seeing snakes and lizards. If you’d like to join this team, please ask the secretary. No experience necessary!

The film is the story of a coal merchant called Bill Furlong, who uncovers disturbing secrets in a small Irish town that’s controlled by the Roman Catholic Church, based on the real life stories of the Magdalene Laundries Workhouse in 1985.

Sunday 22nd June, 12 noon to 3pm

Come along to the Village Fete at Blewbury Primary School. Enjoy stalls, games, a bouncy castle and music, while raising funds for the school.

If you complete the activities in Quaker Wood, you can claim a prize from the school.

Quaker Wood Opening Ceremony at 2 pm. Everyone invited

Blewsing are holding a Summer Concert in St Michael’s Church, Blewbury on Saturday June 14th 5.30 – 7.30. Songs will be popular and traditional.  Tickets are available from the Blewbury Post Office and Choir members.

Sundays during the summer

We serve teas in St Michael’s Church, Blewbury most Sundays over the summer. Please note: there will be a few gaps this year due to events in church: NO TEAS on 22nd June, 6th July or 20th July; please check church teas posters.
£4.00 for a delicious piece of homemade cake and as many cups of tea as you’d like! £1 Squash and Kit Kat for children. Everybody is welcome – come with a group or by yourself and join a friendly group – we are always pleased to see families and children can  occupy themselves in the children’s corner while parents enjoy their tea. Well behaved dogs welcome too. There is always a very happy atmosphere and plenty of good friendly conversation and debate, so do come and join us. We look forward to seeing you in our lovely old Church. Funds raised from Sunday Teas are used towards St Michael’s Church small projects. Pat Mattimore and team
