The Enford Team were spearheaded by John Poole-Warren, Rob Coultard and Frank Horsford. The best round of the day was by Denis West for Chisenbury with 38 Stableford points.

You may not be aware that Enford Parish Hall and Reading Room is an old hall and is in great need of refurbishment. At the present we are or should I say Enford Parish Council is applying for a grant, hopefully to do the refurbishment. In the event of our not receiving a grant, however, there is every possibility that the Hall will have to close. Since the centenary of the Parish Hall is almost upon us it would be a great shame to lose one of the remaining focal points of the parish. We are now looking for help from our parishioners, anyone you know that is a tradesman or anyone just wanting to help in general. We will need electricians, painters, chippies or anyone just wanting to contribute in any way at all with help or funding. As I said, the Hall has been around for many years so we hope it will not be allowed to go without a fight. So please keep looking in your Newsletter for future letters about the Hall and if you are able to give up any of your time please let us know Thank you Katrina Knight Enford Parish Hall & Reading Room Committee. THANK YOU First of all I would like to say thank you to Jane for organising the jumble sale that she arranged on 13 th September. Also thank you to Kirsty, Janice, Michelle, Anthea, Coralie, Jo, Jacqui and Maureen for their help. Also to Samantha, Harry, Lauren and Holly and to anyone I have left out. I would like to say a very big thank you to Delia Steele for baking cakes and for baking the cake for ’Guess the Weight of the Cake’. The winner for this was Tracy Bailey who correctly guessed the weight of 6llb 6ozs. The winner for ‘Guess the Mystery Ingredient’ was Janice Goddard guessing cardamom seeds. I want to thank Marg for making chocolate rice crispies and chocolate cornflakes. Thanks also to all who came along and supported the Jumble Sale. It is folks like you that keep these old building alive. We made on the day £268.87. Once again thank you to everyone that helped and supported us.

I shall be talking about the trip to our local Mothers’ Union next month, but the meetings are open to anyone who is interested in this subject. Thursday 2nd October 2.30pm and Monday 13th October 7.30pm, both meetings in the Phoenix hall, Netheravon. Please just let me know if you’re planning to come – Pip Symonds 670782 Fairtrade Event For the 3rd successive year , there will be an opportunity to see the wide range of goods available with the fair-trade label & help to tackle poverty through trade, not aid.
