The Sarah McQuaid concert in St Andrew's Church Irnham  at the end of May was the first performance in the Church organised by Irnham Community Entertainment was supported and enjoyed by over 70 people. 

The acoustics of the Church made her voice sound amazing and with light hearted jokes about her life it was a pleasant way to spend an evening. 

We would recommend a cushion for any future performances though.

The organisers of the event, Irnham Community Entertainment (ICE) donated £100 plus gift aid to St Andrews Church Fabric Fund from surplus monies generated by this event.

ICE has two more events in St Andrew's Church this year and hopes to raise more money for the Church.

After being alerted by my Son Luke that there was to be a flypast of Red Arrows, I delayed a meeting so I could take photos.  I was also given permission to use a photo that Andrew Crow took as they banked northwards from the Swinstead Road. In Andrew's photo the cloud above made a shadow and in the colour photo the shadow is red.

 

 

I am sad to say this maybe the last update on Geoffrey. After being rescued from another village by Sir Jamie as he was being a bit naughty, he has started this behaviour in Irnham.

He was caught yesterday 7th June by Sir Jamie and had a wing clipped and it was hoped that he would stay with the hall's chickens but alas he is back on Watergate house shed roof again this morning, 8th June.

I was updated by our new neighbour that he maybe taken to market or rehomed should anyone like him. But I would suggest clipping wings as he can fly as high as a chimney.

 

 

 

On the evening of Thursday 6th June for the 80 years D Day celebrations the Irnham Beacon was once again in use. The Beacon was primed and then lit by Sir Jamie and it was lovely to see as many people climb the hill to show their respect to those fallen service men and women who gave up their lives to make those remaining have a better one.

Thank you again for your support.

 

 

It was a busy couple of days in the Parish with a clean up day organised for 7th June in irnham and 8th June in Bulby and what a surprise to see the council road sweeper turn up before they started and clean the road edges which were on the list of to do that day. I think it may have been a fluke that it was the same day but thank you to the council anyway.  (Thanks to Cllr Amanda Ayre for requesting them.)

I was away for the day but I always do my bit where I can. Those who helped were Jon and Janet Crook, Martin Fuggle, Peter and Maureen Gray, Jenny and Andrew Crow, Sarah and Mike Hatfield, Lynda and David Hall, Rose Broom, Mal Holland, Rick Clegg, Ian Campbell, Niall Clarkson, Medi and Nancy Watters, Charlie Leggatt, Bronwen Bevan, Sir Jamie, Tony Martin, John and Jude Slater, Paul and Carol Howat, Amanda Ayre, Diana Broughton, Adele Rayner and Mark Hodson.  A big 'thank you' to Alan Luscombe and Trevor Vanson for all the mowing in Bulby and Hawthorpe.  If I have missed anybody off I do apologize.

 

 

It was  lovely to be invited to celebrate Janet Crook's 70th birthday with her family at Chatsworth House.

It was a complete surprise to Janet and she was overwhelmed for several minutes.

Lovely day out for myself and hubby Terry.
