I am circulating this edition of the Village News a day earlier than usual, because it contains information about tomorrow's Bank Holiday.
From the Vale
We've got some important messages for you ahead of this Bank Holiday weekend: - Help is available

Village upkeep
Members of the village Maintenance Group are tidying the verges around the Jubilee Field, cutting the area between the road and stream for road safety reasons; inside the stream will be left in a natural state, for wildlife.
Fresh, local meals - straight to your door! (Revised notice)
As you may remember my name is Mac and I run a small company called Passion Fine Dining Ltd here in Woolstone. I am fortunate enough to still be able to receive meat orders from my butchers and vegetable suppliers. I have been approached by a few people locally and in other villages asking if I would consider doing a delivery service of various meals around the area. I would love to be able to help make life just a little easier for people during these present times. I am now producing a small selection of 'comfort' meals for locals to order and my partner Karen will then deliver them in the safest conditions. I will also be donating 10% to the NHS or local charity of choice.
The meals will now be prepared in 1 portion packs and delivered either vac packed in plastic bags (easy to freeze/refrigerate) or in foil containers to put in the oven. At present I'm offering the following but am also looking to provide a vegetarian dish from this coming week.
Vegetarian Thai red curry. (contains cashew nuts and coconut cream) £7.00
Cottage Pie (in foil dish) - £7.00
Beef Bourguinonne (vac pac) - £7.00
Beef Rendang (Malaysian Curry vac pac) - £7.00
Chicken Curry (Madras heat level and vac pac) - £7.00
No rice is provided with the curries due to the hazards of reheating.
If this proves to be popular I will continue the service but change the dishes and provide a new menu every two weeks that can be ordered up until 9am on the Wednesday for delivery Friday and Saturday. There will be a minimum order of 4 portions ( any combination of the dishes ) and payment can be made either in an envelope with cash or an electronic transfer on-line. Please feel free to contact by mobile 07786268401 direct or by email: passionfinedining@gmail.com
Reminder: White Horse Garden Club Plant Sale on Saturday 9th May - 10 am - 4pm
Garden club members will place plants in their driveways (not on the pavement) for people to choose and make a donation into an honesty box.
All proceeds we will give to charity: Prospect Hospice, Moorhead Road, Wroughton, Swindon.
Please respect social distancing at all times
