Message from Julie:
Please would everyone be kind enough to check their sheds and garages for our missing cat. He is very inquisitive and we know he travels all around the village. We have not seen him for 2 days which is very unlike him and we are concerned he is shut in somewhere.
If anyone has any information please could they call me on 07849929661

This Saturday (9th August) the 3Hs Gardening club is running their annual produce show, where members show produce they have grown in the garden, items they have prepared in the kitchen and flower arrangements. Chairman Mike Patching says:
Despite the less than ideal growing season this year I am confident that as in other years there will be fine examples of our craft. All of the exhibits will be judged and cups and shields awarded.
Competition will strong and from 2:30pm, after the judging has taken place, you’ll be able to come along and view the entries and watch the awards being presented all free of charge. This year for the first time, light refreshments are being provided by the Hornton WI.
So, what’s not to like? Come along and see what the Gardening Club do and maybe consider joining. They are a small group meeting once a month with expert gardeners and various speakers throughout the year, all for the princely sum of £10.
Just come along and enjoy a pleasant afternoon, you’ll be made very welcome.
Banbury Lane is closed by the bridge for emergency repairs:

A big thank you to everyone who came along to the Horley fete recently, and special thanks to Megan Bottoms who took some great photos of the event – see below.
As it’s clear from the photos, everyone seemed to be having a good time! The refreshments in the Old School were very popular (delicious cakes – thank you all the bakers!) and there was an excellent selection of stalls in the Church. What’s more, we raised a fantastic £2,300 for our Church and local charities, so thank you again!
The next Church service in Horley will be a family service followed by Holy Communion, on Sunday 6th July. See below for details:
St Peter’s Church are celebrating their patron with fun events this Sunday. See below for details:
