Surlingham

my wandering brown bin is now safely home!!

My brown bin was taken for emptying by the collectors yesterday but never returned. Guessing they left it elsewhere. If you’ve got an unexpected brown bin can you let me know please – 538791

Surlingham will be sad to see the departure of Derry Kelleher this week, as he moves up to Scotland. 

Derry has lived in the village for over 40 years. He is chair of the parochial church council. Amongst other things he project-managed the new kitchen extension at the church in 2013 and was active in getting two new church bells in 2000 and restarting the ringing band.  His late wife Cathy was a well-loved teacher at the school. 

On behalf of the village we would like to thank Derry for all he has done and to wish him all the very best in his new life. 

I’m pleased to report that Otis is now home ….. and eating very well!

A cat has been reported missing from Ferry Corner. Otis was last seen in the late afternoon of Wednesday 3rd August.

Any information about his whereabouts would be gratefully received. Please contact Clive or Alexandra on 538234 or 07767770477

It would be lovely to see as many people as possible attend the services in our beautiful Church. Sunday 28th August is a family service suitable for everyone and anyone 😊

The Parish Coucil has signed a letting agreement with Saprientia and insured the field for use by the community out of school hours until dusk all year round. Details are on the sign by the gate.

There may be times when the field is unavailable e.g when the football club are using the field under their own agreement.

Dogs are not allowed on the field and please take your litter home.

The ‘what-3-Words’ location identifier for the Emergency services ‘THRUSTERS.SCANS.PROFILED’ is on the sign.

Contact 01508 537151 to arrange to collect the key and please return it promptly after use ensuring the field is secure.

Thank you
