We have just bought a new printer and are left with inks that are not compatible with the new printer.

The surplus inks are compatible with an Epson 225. 3 x black, 1 yellow, 1 cyan and 1 magenta. The Epson 225 printer/photocopies/scanner works but does not print as well as it used to, however it is still acceptable. If interested please contact Pauline McTear on 861311.

Village Wedding – Saturday 12th August

Dear Neighbours
We are delighted that our daughter Kitty will be married in Kingscote Church on Saturday 12th August 2017 and afterwards the marriage celebrations are to be in the gardens of Kingscote House.

Out of courtesy to the residents of the village, there will be no fireworks and the live band will stop playing by 2315h.

Parking for the wedding guests has been arranged at The Hunters Hall, the Village Hall and Tim Sage’s field so there should be no road blockages over the weekend.

The wedding party will walk from the church onto the bottom lawn of Kingscote House via the small gate. There are often a couple of cars parked here and sometimes on the pavement too which blocks our entrance to the gate. For the weekend of the 12th/13th we should be grateful if you keep this gateway clear. Thank you for your cooperation

Poppy Appeal

After decades of dedicated service, Mrs June Hill is retiring from carrying out the house to house collection in Leighterton for the annual Poppy Appeal.  If anyone could take over collecting in Leighterton, or knows of anyone whom I could ask, please do let me know (tel. 01453 861583 or Sheila Hill).  The dates for this year’s collection are 28 October to 11 November.
Also, if anyone might like to take over from me as Poppy Appeal Organiser for Kingscote District (i.e. Kingscote, Bagpath, Lasborough, Leighterton and Calcot), I’d be happy to tell you what’s involved.  We collect around £800 a year, so it’s well worthwhile.
