The Village of Wark

Archive for June, 2009

As is the custom on this Saturday, 4 July, we’ll have St Michael’s Summer Fete, on the Green.    The Fete is one of the important fundraisers for the Church and having a well attended day helps with the finances for the whole year.

Many of you will have been before, so you know what to expect: an extensive book stall, plants, bric-a-brac, tombola and fantastic cakes.  I have said it before, and I will say it again: if you intend to buy one or more of the cakes you’ll have to turn up on time.  The cakes stall always sells out quickly.  However, if you miss it, you’ll still have a chance of tasting some of them,  as the teas in the Town Hall come with a fantastic array of cakes, biscuits and other lovely edibles.  Warmly recommended.

As I mentioned last week, Jeannette unfortunately can’t do the dog show this year due to othercommitments but she intends to be back next year.  St. Michael’s Summer Fete starts at 2 p.m. and let’s hope for a dry and sunny day.

Those of you with children in the school will already have heard that the governors have appointed the head of Henshaw School to also become the head of Wark First School.  Mrs Henry will share her time between Wark and Henshaw and the governors are now recruiting a new teacher to fill the remaining teaching time.

This is a solution which is rather different than people perhaps expected, but I’m sure we’ll welcome both the new Head and the new teacher, when he or she is appointed in due course.
