It doesn't quite feel like summer, yet this weekend is the battle of the school summer fairs in the Village. The Russell School festivities kick off at 10.45 with a parade from the bottom of Shire Lane up to the school, and their fair runs from 11 to 2pm at the school. And not to be outdone, Chorleywood Primary starts an hour later at midday and runs until 3pm. You don't need to be involved in either school to turn up and support their events! Chorleywood Village Day Please make sure that you've got the Village Day in your diary for Saturday 13th July. This year the event will happen as the Parish Council have got a "Plan B" if the event cannot go ahead as planned on the Common. So many local organisations are very much dependent upon the Village Day to support their activities, to recruit new members, raise a little bit of money, or even just to spread awareness of their activities. Your very own Residents' Association will be there from Pimm's o'clock (midday), so please come along and say hello.
