Golf Auction in aid of the Field Bulb project

As some visitors will know, Tickenham Golf Club have made a generous contribution to our bulb project. We are planting a series of different bulbs which will give a wonderful display of colour throughout the year on the bank between the MUGA and the lower field.

The Club has given two vouchers which will each allow 4 players to enjoy 18 holes of golf. If preferred, the rounds can be limited to 9 holes or split in to two different sessions of 9 by arrangement with the Club.

Each voucher is being separately auctioned so you can bid for one or both. Please state in your bid whether it is for one or two.

The auction closes at 11.59pm on August 21. The two current highest bids are for £50 and £40.

Please post your bids to us at: tickenhamvillagefield@virginmedia.com

Tickenham Open Gardens

Our first Open Gardens day on 23 June 2019 was a huge success with over 400 visitors enjoying the gardens, plant sales and refreshments. In fact it was such a success that we decided to do it again! Then came the coronavirus and sadly our Open Gardens 2020 had to be cancelled.

The organising group met recently (virtually of course) and decided that 2021 was still uncertain, so the next Open Gardens in Tickenham will be in 2022. The reserved dates are 26th June and 3rd July. We will be back with a bigger and better event – there may even be a mini-bus to take you to drop-off points along the way! In the meantime do note the provisional optional dates in your diaries: that’s – SUNDAY 26th JUNE or SUNDAY 3rd JULY 2022. We will confirm which date as soon as possible so watch this space for more details.

NATIONAL GRID

As National Grid are unable to hold public information events during the current restrictions, they’ve launched a page on their website with more details about what the current works in our area entail, along with detailed maps, and timings for roadworks. Go to https://hinkleyconnection.co.uk/pylons-sandford-avonmouth/ to find out more.

the Duke of Edinburgh at Tickenham church this Friday 16th April at 6.30pm.

MARIE CURIE NATIONAL DAY OF REFLECTION

Tickenham Church will be taking part in the Marie Curie National Day of Reflection on March 23^rd. If you would like to remember someone who has died over this last terrible year, for whatever reason, there will be a space in front of the church porch gates for you to place a daffodil as a mark of remembrance or out of respect for those affected by Covid in any way this last year.
