Here we are in October and I am afraid that this will be another email covering 2 weeks as I am going away again!!
A few things to mention:
October Movie Night
We will be showing the film “Bridget Jones’s Baby” on Tuesday in the Bistro. Movie at approx. 6.20pm (after those eating have finished!); collect pre-ordered bar food from the kitchen at 5.45pm
Volunteer Driving Scheme – contact
From this Saturday (10th October) for a week (until 17th) October you should contact Wendy Wooldridge (4662; wendywooldridge62@gmail.com) if you need transport for a medical appointment.
Wellness Centre closure for staff training
On Thursday this week (8th) the Wellness centre will close at 10.30 for staff pool training. The Aquafit & Healthy Heart classes will run as normal.
Flu/Covid Clinic
· If you have been invited by Tracey to attend the clinic here on Friday 9th please make sure you note the time for your injections and arrive on time. If you are unsure if this applies to you please check with reception or Tracey.
· If you do not have an invitation please book with the surgery or local pharmacists to have yours there.
Are you looking for a mobility scooter?
If you are considering buying one then Rita (Wakely) may be able to help. She has one that she will soon be changing for a different type. It is in great working order and has recently been serviced. If you are interested please contact her direct – at 18 Chestnut Grange, 4647, or email ritamwakely@gmail.com.
News from HLE
· As of this morning there was just 1 place available for the Royal Marines Christmas Concert at Chichester on December 3rd. It costs £66. Don’t miss out so book at reception now as bookings close on Friday week (19th).
· On Thursday October 22nd we will be holding the annual Theatre Together Dinner featuring music by Emma Carver. She will be singing some songs from the shows that we have attended and you will be given advance notice of outings in early 2027. Flyers with the menu and costs have been distributed. Don’t forget to book at reception with your deposit for the entertainment.
Recent Planning Application
Some of you will be aware that a planning application has been submitted for a change of use for part of the fields on Reading Road. The application is to change its use from equestrian to a residential caravan site. You can see details on Hart’s Planning site at http://publicaccess.hart.gov.
It is the HLRA’s intention to object to this application and we encourage you to submit your own objections if you so wish. However, please note that using the fact that it will be used by gypsies and travellers is not a valid objection and will not be considered. Later in the week I hope to send another email suggesting other grounds that you might use. Please also note that the deadline for objections is 20th October.
