Birth of a new Village art group

Yes, it’s another new birth For the Village!

Yesterday, a new group was created.  It is to be called the YaccaDoodle Art Group.  And a photo was taken to commemorate the occasion - see below.

We are having an exhibition during the fringe (see previous January Village News Feeds) and we can still welcome some new members.

A touch of humour

Ever had a speeding fine? If so, you will love this one - very nearly a bit of exquisite revenge!

[Thanks to Hugh R for sending it in.]

Please don't flush them down the loo!

Last Friday, one of the pumps at the Wastewater Treatment Plant failed - at four o’clock in the morning! - resulting in unwelcome nighttime emergency calls to several registered volunteers.

The pump was found to be jammed up with tampon strings - the unravelling of which was a dirty, smelly and tedious job that no volunteer should have had to tackle.

So - to all our Village women - please do not flush sanitary products down the toilet (including the toilet in the Sharing Shed), and please make sure you also pass this instruction on to any female guests in the Village.
