ON YER bikes: Congratulations to intrepid Whitewater School dads and dudes who cycled to Paris last weekend to raise money for the school!

Mike, Lee, Phil, Jason, Matt, Colin, Lee Watts (also Falcon landlord) Rob and Jonathan pedalled nearly 200 miles in three days (except for the ferry bit!) ably supported by van driver Steve.

Further sponsorship very welcome at http://my donate.bt.com/events/ 2015r2p/229602.

LICENSED to grill: Come one, come all residents to the Rotherwick barbecue this Sunday at the village hall, starting at 2pm!

Bring your own salads, rugs and gazebos along – there will be free barbecue food plus family games and activities. Check out the possible housing development map at the same time!

NO LIVES left: Three much-loved cats have been killed by cars in as many weeks on The Street this month – please, please, please slow down driving through the village.
