JULY 2024

• The cultural event of July is The Petersfield Shakespeare Festival’s Romeo & Juliet – 16th to 21st July. And their first ever ‘Fringe’ on the final afternoon – 21st July.
• The next Parish Council meeting is on Tuesday 9th July at 7pm in the Village Hall.
• No Film Club until September

THE SHEET OLYMPICS held on Saturday 22nd June was a great success with many medals won. Hugely enjoyed by so many children – and adults, with stories of children insisting on wearing their medals to bed that night! Many thanks to The Sheet Association committee members for all their very hard work perfecting the logistics of such a fun event. And to Sheet School children for their ‘Chariots of Fire’ Opening Ceremony performance and creative Olympic torches.

8 teams competed – Australia, France, Greece, India, Kenya, Ukraine, UK and USA. India won Gold, Ukraine won Silver and Kenya won Bronze. And some great prizes were won in the Raffle too. A tasty BBQ and WI tea & cakes provided delicious fuel for the athletes and spectators, together with refreshing drinks from The Half Moon pub’s bar. And our fluent ‘Franglais’ speaking MC guided us expertly through the afternoon!
