This is your page to let other members of the village know what events you are planning to organize and any details of those events. Whilst there is also a 'Community Newsletter' that is produced by the Church, this 'Village News' is an adjunct for those of us who perhaps regard the 'Community News' to be focussed only on church matters and therefore do not give it the attention it deserves.
Details of any event can be passed by e-mail (preferably) to: webmaster@brookenby.org.uk. If you must chop trees down, I am also able to accept hard copy at 4 York Road. Just pop it through the letter box.
