Text Box: Village Flowers	

The Golden Jubilee Committee has been responsible for the flowers around the village for many years now. Even people who are no longer members have continued to maintain their commitment. Because of this our village looks more attractive and I would like to thank them for their efforts. However, you may have noticed that the signs as you enter St. Mary’s and St. Bartholomew’s have not had summer bedding plants around them this year. Brian and Liz Price, who have cared for these areas since we started this scheme, are no longer able to do them due to bad health. I would especially like to thank them for this and all the other ways that they have helped us. They have given of their time unstintingly and we could not have done without them. If there is anyone who would like to take over either one or both of these areas would you please contact me on 363224. We pay for the plants, and, once in, they do not require too much time. The committee has not been very active lately due to lack of members but if anyone would like to join us please phone me on the above number. You would be most welcome.             
Jenny Bedwell.

Text Box: THE ELEEMOSYNARY CHARITY
The Trustees of the Eleemosynary charity will be making some changes to the way the charity money is used /distributed. But to do this we will require the 
assistance of the local residents of Covenham. It is proposed that the money will be used to help people in their hour of need. Sometimes people are too proud to ask for help when it is needed, that’s when we would like friends and neighbours to 
contact one of the trustees to let us know when a person is in need.
  As an example this could be  a bereavement as the cost of funerals can be very 
expensive, or recent flooding could have left people needing financial support , or maybe ill health or anything along those lines.
The trustees are Mr Colin Brader 01507 363229
