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

Friday Night Light – Friday 25th June 6pm

Friday Night Light at St Quiricus & St. Julietta, is on Friday, 25th June at 6.00p.m. The programme of choral music runs from 6.00pm to 7.30pm; there is no liturgy, no hymns, just an opportunity to unwind, to relax and listen to recordings of spiritually uplifting music in our beautiful church, candle-lit for the occasion. You are welcome to stay for the whole programme or for as long as you wish.

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.
