BOXING DAY WALK 2009
Yet again, the Boxing Day Walk was very successful, with over 60 intrepid walkers of all ages turning out to explore some of the many footpaths that surround our village.It was a bright but chilly day, and most of the snow had dispersed leaving it a bit muddy underfoot. Refreshments afterwards at the Three Horseshoes were much appreciated!
NEW EDITION OF VILLAGE BOOK
Helions Bumpstead is not just a collection of interesting buildings. Those buildings, often much altered over the years, are echoes of a long and rich local history.
Would you like to know more about our village? A new and enlarged edition of Roy Brazier's book, Portrait of Helions Bumpstead, has just been published. It's a very readable story of Helions, its history and its people, over hundreds of years. Roy was born and bred in Helions, and lived here for many years until he moved over the border to Haverhill.
Copies are available from Lower House, by the crossroads, (730 323), or from the Three Horseshoes, priced at £6. Proceeds go to church funds.
HELP WANTED - SILVER LINK
Could you spare a couple of hours on the first Wednesday of every month to help keep the Silver Link club going?
Fifty years ago, when the club was formed, there were lots of retired folk in the Village, and the idea of forming a social club created a lot of local interest. There were over 40 members who attended the first Christmas dinner.
Membership is now down to 8, and they are finding it very difficult to keep going.
It would be sad to see the club fade through lack of support. They would dearly love to have new members and new ideas which would bring more members into the club. Please consider trying to keep this village club going for a few more years.
Footpaths Walks
Matthew Lawfield, our Parish Councillor with special responsibility for footpaths, is organising a new series of walks exploring some of the 25miles of footpaths that we have in the Village.
The walks will be on the afternoon of the third Saturday of every month, after the Farmers' Market, meeting at 2pm at the crossroads by the Village Green. They will usually last between one and two hours, depending on the weather and conditions at the time, but you can leave the walk at any point convenient to yourself.
All ages are very welcome, but do please wear sensible waterproof shoes or boots!
