AROUND KINGSWEAR
councillors who will soon be meeting, without any payment, to work for our benefit. Well done and thank you to Jonathan. Again.
KINGSWEAR WI
June is our month for getting out and about so we arrange a ‘Meeting on Wheels’. This year we are adventuring as far as Totnes which as well as being a lovely town full of hidden delights is also the home of a fascinating museum and Elizabethan garden. Pru Boswell will lead a guided tour and answer questions on Totnes history and this will be followed by lunch at the Waterside Bistro and the inevitable browse around the shops. In July we have speaker Penny Townsend whose talk
entitled Suntan and Strawberries will give us an insight into summers in the time of Jane Austen. This will be followed (obviously) by a strawberry cream tea! And in August we have been fortunate in persuading wonderful Brixham folk singer and raconteur Maggie Duffy to entertain us with songs and stories from the West Country. As always we are very welcoming to new members or visitors and meet in the Sarah Roope Trust Room at 2.15pm on the third Wednesday of each month.
VOLUNTEER HELPERS NEEDED! Kingswear Regatta is due to take place on Jubilee Park on July 25th and 26th. Sunday July 26th is the village fete and is very popular with families and holiday makers. If you could please spare a little time and would be willing to offer help, you would be greatly appreciated. Just an hour or two would be fantastic. We are also putting together hampers to be offered as raffle prizes and would be delighted if you could make a donation of tins, jars or bottles of something nice. Please contact Jan on 752928 or Ann on 752215. And Sam Furneaux is collecting donations for the tombola and would be extremely grateful if she could receive these before the event. They can be delivered to her at 1 Elm Cott, Lower Contour Road or call her on 752899. So fingers crossed for a glorious weekend and lots of people to enjoy the event.
KINGSWEAR PRIMARY SCHOOL It’s been a busy few months for Kingswear Primary and the whole school has been out and about in this Summer Term. As part of the Science Curriculum Year 1 & 2 have been up on the land at Fountain Violet Farm. They are growing vegetables and are going up weekly to weed, water and tend to their crops.

Children fron Kingswear Primary school at their AONB exibition. The whole school got involved with the AONB/Encounters
Arts Partnership Project Routeways & Connections between March and June. The multi-agency project aimed to engage communities in a physical and hands on way with the natural heritage of the Brixham & Kingswear Peninsular. With the help of lead artist Shelley Castle and other AONB staff the children went out and about using a range of creative and innovative tools and approaches, such as poems, games, songs, interactive activities and pictures to engage with their natural surroundings. This culminated in a presentation and for family and friends and the community in the Village Hall. Years 3, 4 and 5 have just spent their annual 3-day long residential in Camp Kernow in Cornwall. It was a fun-packed few days making tuffets, climbing walls, bat detecting, practicing archery and technical tree climbing as well as cooking marshmallows over the camp fire. As we write Year 6 are enjoying their end of school London Trip which has a packed itinerary including the London Eye, 10 Downing Street and a tour of The Houses of Parliament with Dr Sarah Wollaston MP. The Our School Federation have also been preparing for the The Devon Games to Inspire which take place in Paignton on Sunday 12 July. Kingswear, along with the other federation schools were taking part in the tag rugby, cricket and athletics trials which were held at Stoke Fleming in mid June. Fingers crossed there’ll be some medals! So who can say that school children don’t get out and about any more!
JUBILEE PARK PLAYGROUND STEAMS
AHEAD WITH AUCTION SUCCESS On Saturday 13th June supporters of the Jubilee Park Playground Project piled into the Village Hall for an Auction of Promises, the first of the committee’s fundraising initiatives towards the £35,000 target.
There was definitely an air of anticipation with an exciting catalogue of over 30 auction lots. Trevor Reed did a sterling job as auctioneer and with bids flying in from the village, London and even Turkey the event raised over £8,000. There was impressive support from the local community with donations and auction lots (including foreign holidays, boat trips and a much sought after tour of BRNC with the Commodore) and it was an enjoyable and entertaining evening for all who attended.
