SUNDAY LUNCH – Some of the Burley Gate Guides are travelling to Switzerland in August. In order to cover the cost of ‘extra’ activities while they are away, they are holding a fund-raising Sunday lunch at The Granary, The Green Farm, Felton, from 12.30pm on May 31. Roast pork and all the trimmings, home-made sweets, plus tea or coffee will cost just £10 or £7.50 for children. Bookings must be made by May 28. Call 01432 820234 or 820186.

BURLEY GATE SCHOOL – Following the resignation of headteacher Cheryl Puttick, there will be an informal open house at the school on Thursday, July 16. This will be an opportunity for members of the local community to call in and to say their own farewells to Cheryl – we would be particularly delighted to welcome any former pupils and/or their parents. The school will be open from 5pm until 8.30pm and there will be a short presentation at about 7pm. Light refreshments will be provided. For catering purposes, we would be grateful if anyone intending to come along could contact the school on 01432 820367 or email admin@ burleygate.hereford.sch.uk.

COFFEE EVENING – On Friday, June 5, from 6.30pm there will be a coffee evening at Canal House, Westhide, the home of Mr and Mrs George Hicks.

Cakes, plants, raffles and bring-and-buy stalls will be on offer and all proceeds
