SPORTS CLUB

Many thanks to all those who have paid their subs so promptly.

However, just a gentle nudge for those that have

forgotten that subs for the sports club are now due for

2011. You can download a membership form by going to

the website www.broughton-kirby.com and click on

contacts and links, and then ‘click here for a membership form’ New

members are very welcome. There is lots of information including

dates for social events and match fixtures, so you will know when to

come down and support your local team and maybe have a drink as

well. Subs can also be given to Wendy Moor 82, High St. Gt

Broughton TS9 7EG

LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY

Towards the end of May and in the beginning of June a number of

members of the Society who live in the village will begin to work on a

social history of the village, recording all the changes that we can as

far back as is possible. We shall be calling on all residents to seek

their help in this project.

Broughton Village Hall is available for rent . Contact Elizabeth

712706

Kirkby Church Hall is available for rent. Contact Sheila 712321. of 5-6 miles on longer evenings. Whether you are on your own or with a

group you will be made most welcome. For further details tel Ruth 711406 ******

This year we are combining our soup lunch with a ‘Teddy Bears Picnic’

to enable those with young children to bring them along – complete

with a favourite teddy – and have some fun. The event is at Kirkby

church hall on Saturday 14th May from 12.00 noon to 2.00 pm

The original idea of our Bread & Soup Lunch is that in exchange for a

donation you will receive a simple meal. This may be more basic than

your usual Saturday lunch but will represent far more in terms of

food and calories than the meals taken by families in the third world.

If you haven’t been before please come along and try our delicious

homemade soup.

You will find a Christian Aid envelope in this newsletter, with a slip

setting out how to return it. Please give generously to this really

worthwhile cause which does so much to redress poverty throughout

the world.

Maria would like to thank very much the congregation of St.

Augustine’s Church for the beautiful silver photograph frame given in

recognition of her 6 years as Church Warden.

John & Val Davies would like to thank everyone who sent get well

wishes, cards and flowers during Val’s recent illness. They were very

much appreciated.

Watercolour Classes

There will be watercolour classes at Gt. Broughton Village Hall with

Bill Campbell-Trotter staring on Monday June 6th, mornings for 3

weeks. Contact Linda 710415
