..a bi-monthly (quarterly during Covid) digest of what’s going on in Baydon: June/July 2021 A glorious sunny Saturday for the Table Top sale on the village green. Visit www.baydon.org for up-to-date village news, events, and features Hello Baydon, Well here we are, another issue of the Scene. I am sorry that the timing is a little out of sync. Hopefully, by the time of the next issue we should be out of lockdown and starting to get our lives back on track. Fortunately, the Covid restrictions didn’t prevent the Table Top sale and Pirate Treasure Trail from going ahead on Saturday. This turned out to be a great day. Fun for everyone and money raised for the church building fund. Thank you to all involved. The Parish Council are still looking for more Councillors and I am looking for the next editor of this publication. Don’t be afraid to put your hand up if you have s ome spare time and want to be more involved in village life. Several new families have moved into the village in the last couple of weeks. I would like to welcome them to Baydon and hope that they will be very happy here. Let’s make sure that we say hello if we see new faces in the village and make them feel welcome. If you are one of our new residents, how about a short note about yourself, where you have come from and why you came to Baydon. It is the quickest way to get known and get to know others in the village. We will shortly be saying goodbye to Mrs Knighton. Whilst we are sorry to see her go, we of course wish her the best of luck in her new role. A big thank you for all that she has done for the school. I always need more articles for the magazine. So new additions to the family or, sadly, losses of family, how you have survived lockdown, comments or suggestions about the village, interesting or old photos of the village, Anything that others in the village might find interesting.

Maybe you are looking for a holiday read or bedtime read...then look no further. We are excited to launch the idea of a Baydon Book Exchange- based in the church. The idea is that you choose a book and for a small donation you can take the book away, read it and hopefully bring it back for someone else to enjoy! The Donation Box is in the Bookcase holding the Hymn Books. Of course, for this to happen we need books. If you have any of novels lying around gathering dust and you don’t know what to do with them, then look no further. We would be very grateful for donations of good quality books that can be dropped off in the church or at 44 Downsmead. This initiative will be up and running as soon as we can fill our bookshelves so please keep sorting! 100 Club – St Nicholas Church, Baydon Our 100 Club still has availability if you would like to join. It is open to anyone in or outside the village. It is a great way to support the running costs of the church as well as having the chance to win yourself some money.

Tina Evans has been the flower arrangers’ co- ordinator for many years at St Nicholas Church, but due to other pressures in her life she has decided to call it a day. Her expertise and knowledge of how to create wonderful displays has been much appreciated by the church community. COVID restrictions and regulations have prohibited many of the church’s services and events. Now we can at last look forward and recover from the drought of social interaction and hopefully meet up again for worship and other activities. Many of us are currently enjoying walking around our rural pathways and seeing the hedgerows and trees come back to life with green leaves and delicate blossom. Fresh flowers in the church is something I love to see and from Easter I intend to ensure that this is the case! If you would like to provide flowers or funds for the cost of them at any time; for a special date in memory of someone or to remember an anniversary? Please do let me know and I will ensure that you can either gain access to the church or I will make an arrangement on your behalf. If you would like a small card placed beside your flowers to say who they are for, or from, I can easily do this for you.
