BROOKVALE Community Association: The association’s community lottery costs just over £12 a year to join and gives local residents a chance of winning monthly cash prizes of £20, £30 and £50.

The next two draws are scheduled to take place at the association’s monthly coffee morning held from 10am to noon on Saturday, June 6, and Saturday, July 4, at Brookvale Village Hall. Call 324313 for details.

The association’s work to protect and enhance the local environment is also continuing with one bed in the garden next to the village hall now started and its grass re-seeded. Greening Campaign activities are also being planned for September 19 and 25. Contact info@brookvale.org.uk to help.

CHILDREN’S show: Proteus Theatre’s annual show for children at the village hall is always a popular event and next year’s production is “Little Red and the Wolves” scheduled for January 3! Advance publicity promises that the wheels of fate are set in motion as Scarlett and James meet, so make a date in your diary now!
