June glorious June! Obviously I have no idea what the weather will be doing in June as I’m writing this mid May but I am confident that regardless we will all be having a glorious time when it comes to the Rose Queen. Thank you Millie for your excellent service this year and for doing such a good job of supporting Jenny into the role.
Jenny we all hope you have a wonderful day and year celebrating all the various events and gatherings that make Thelwall so blooming fantastic (see what I did there?).
The mag is as usual full of opportunities to meet up and socialise, make a difference or feel purposeful. One of the things that I have taken up since retiring is Crown Green Bowling, I know, I thought it was just for gentlemen of a certain age as well but how wrong I was. I come across many people in their thirties and forties bowling and in one team they regularly have an eleven year old playing (and he usually wins!). If it’s something you would like to try then get in touch with a local club, I bowl at High Legh where I have been made to feel very welcome, there’s social bowling on a Wednesday afternoon if ever the sun is shining and you want to just turn up and see how you get on.
Later in the year we’re looking at doing an ‘Away Day’ type of event that everyone is invited to. It’s really hard to make something like that happen when you don’t know if anyone is interested. Our aim is to build a sense of belonging here in the village and hopefully support friendships to be formed. Chaigeley have very kindly offered the use of many of their facilities so along with our Parish Hall we have great venues available to use and a real willingness to put them to good use. Please email Frank if you’re interested in joining us for a little or all of what’s on offer. We would very much like to see you there.
