Honington & Sapiston Parish Council
The next Parish Council Meeting is on the 20th November at
7.30pm in Honington School Hall. LP
Over Sixties Club
Seventeen members joined Barnham Over Sixties on the 5th October
for an afternoon of nostalgic songs from the 50s and 60s,
sung by Alan Jewell, with the more energetic amongst us getting
up to dance as well as singing along. As always, a sumptuous
tea followed and a really enjoyable time was had, thanks to
the 'ladies who cook' in Barnham. On the 19th we met for lunch
once again at the Dun Cow, Bardwell, where the roast lunch
was superb and much appreciated by all - we then had a game
of bingo and a raffle to which Alan, the landlord, had kindly
added a bottle of wine and box of chocolates to the prizes.
The next meetings will be at the Village Hall on the 2nd and
16th November at 2.00pm as summertime will have ended. KK
The Over Sixties Club are once again selling £1 lucky
squares, with lots of prizes, to be drawn on Thursday 21st
December. If you would like to purchase any squares please
contact Albert Lambert in Sapiston. MC

Neighbourhood Watch
Please remember to lock your cars when you leave them outside
your property day and night. Don't leave anything inside,
particularly in view. Several cars were broken into in Sapiston
on Friday night (27th of October) and contents stolen. This
follows a spate of similar crimes in Barningham. If you see
anything suspicious, dial 999 immediately. Prompt action could
help us catch the thieves. Marilyn Williams 268165
Bottle Bank at the Village Hall
The Bottle Bank is a community facility and we all benefit
from the income generated by re-cycling our glass. If the

ask for "Recycling" and they will arrange for it
to be emptied. RW
