** LAWSHALL “The old summer's-end melancholy nips at my heels. There's no school to go back to; no detail of my life will change come the onset of September; yet still, I feel the old trepidation.” ― Sara Baume, A Line Made by Walking September 2019 www.lawshallvillagehall.co.uk This magazine is published by Lawshall Village Hall Management Committee.

Editorial: As August reminds us that Summer is coming to an end and Autumn is on the way there are events you can jin in with. From the Bat Walk, Gardening Club, Tuesday Club to the Village Hall. The Parish Council report tells us that the 375 bus will cease from 2nd November. I wonder how many people will be affected by this, and how we, as a village, can respond. Wendy writes: I saw the community bus in town and asked for some info as our service ends on 2nd November Connecting Communities, St. Edmundsbury, operates Monday to Saturday 7.15am until 7.15 pm Booking line 01440 712028 Monday to Friday 8am until 4pm it is £10 a year membership : They will do a group pickup Not sure what the charge is per journey, have to phone in advance to book a date. http://www.thevoluntarynetwork.org/transport/connecting-communities-st- edmundsbury/ I guess some forms of ride sharing or lift giving may be other options, perhaps this is an opportunity for our community to pull together.

The Lawshall Garden club have done a great job of providing hanging baskets and flower boxes at the front of the village Hall. These baskets have been watered twice daily by an automatic watering system. Sadly over the weekend 20/22nd July the connecting hose was disconnected, this meant the baskets, unknown to the village hall management Committee, weren't getting watered & substantial dam- age was done to the delicate annuals. The system was re-established as soon as possible, but the damage was irreversible. So much hard work destroyed by one or more mindless individuals. Many thanks to all those who have planted and maintained the display for us all to enjoy. Do you value your Village Hall being available? Do come to our meeting on Monday 2nd September starting at 7pm. It rarely goes on for much more than an hour. Even if you think joining the committee is not your thing, you may be able to contribute, or have ideas to take forwards. We do still need a chairperson for the committee, so if you know someone who might be a good fit for the role, but needs to be asked please let me know!
