MARWOOD LADIES Many thanks to Violet for hosting the March meeting when eleven of us met and listened to Stuart give a moving, but witty account, of the activities of the Society for the Protection and Rehoming of Animals (SPRA). The charity has been in existence for 14 years and re-homes a variety of animals especially, cats, dogs, rabbits and hedgehogs. Its main source of income is from its five charity shops at Barnstaple, Bideford, Minehead, Tiverton and Torrington. Following the talk Violet, Ros and Mags provided a delicious cream tea and Alison won the raffle.
3rd April Meeting at 2pm - the meeting is in Marwood
Church Hall. Ray Liverton will be talking about his life in public service.
Visitors are very welcome at any of the meetings. For more information please ring Margaret on 344433.
MARWOOD CHURCH Cream Teas in April
Easter Sunday and Monday (20th and 21st) 2 - 5pm. Come and enjoy good company and a
delicious tea at the Church Hall! All future dates for 2014 on our website.
Consideration for our neighbours!
Dear Readers, Wow! what good weather we’ve had, but it is such a shame that others may feel the need to light a bonfire in the middle of the day when others want to take advantage of the sunshine, air our houses, hang out our washing in the balmy breeze, or simply garden or relax with a cuppa! Before any upsets arise due to a lapse of consideration for our neighbours please think of the consequences of what you are doing. NDC do not have any Bylaws restricting the use of bonfires but they are prepared to take action if necessary or if deemed to be a nuisance, please see the link to their website.
http://www.northdevon.gov.uk/index/lgcl_environment/nonlgcl_environmental_health/nonlgcl_pollution/nonlgcl_nuisance/nonlgcl_bonfires.htm
I am sure there is a need for all of us to have the odd bonfire, but can we all please stick to a time around dusk with the wind not in the direction of someone's thatched roof for example!
Best Wishes John Holton

MARWOOD SCHOOL
Work on the school gardens On 12th March an energetic team of 16 parents worked with children in Classes 1 and 2 to renovate the garden at the front of the school. It is now a great space for children to play and learn in and we are very grateful for everyone’s time and commitment.
Planning applications There are currently two planning applications for Marwood School relating to the school hall – one is to renew the temporary planning for the temporary hall (Devon County Council renew it every 5 or 10 years) and the other is the construction of the new Community Hall to replace the temporary hall. Please be aware that the school and governors are completely in favour of the new hall construction. Members of the local community are invited to a presentation of the plans for the new hall on Tuesday 1st April 6.00 p.m. at the school. The Hall Committee will be able to answer questions and are hoping to speak to groups and individuals interested in using the new hall.
The Marwood School Association The MSA is holding an Easter cake sale on Tuesday 1st April at the school from 2.15pm. Children are also taking part in a sponsored bounce to raise funds and the children would much appreciate your support.
School Term Dates The Easter break is slightly different this year, school finishes at 3.00 p.m. on Friday 4th April with Easter Monday on 21st April. School is still closed to children on Tuesday 22nd for staff training and children return on Wednesday 23rd April.
