SUTTON SUMMER FETE - will be held on Sunday 13 August from 1pm on the Memorial Hall Recreation Ground.  Planning is well under way but we do still require help with  manning the bric a brac stall.  We would be very grateful to receive donations of cakes and bakes which can be brought to the hall the morning of the Fete.  Any items of bric a brac, toys and puzzles can be left in the car port at Redlands Old Post Office Lane.  We also require items for the tombola and raffle and we can arrange collection of items if required.

TEDDY TOMBOLA  Kelly is collecting teddy bears, soft toys and beanies for prizes for the childrens tombola at the Fete.  If you have any new or nearly new toys in this category that you would like to donate please contact Kelly on 01394 412035.

BROADBAND IN SUTTON VILLAGE  As some of you know, we had a well attended meeting in the village hall in April that was attended by Gary Disley of Fibrewifi

  A number of you expressed interest in taking up his service when it became available. He suggested that anyone who wanted to do so should apply for a voucher from Better broadband to reduce the cost. A number of people have done so.

  The plan now is to install a new larger pole at the village hall which will improve connections for the Southern end of the village. This should happen shortly. We then intend to put up a pole at the Northern end of the village which will be able to serve most people there. I hope to have some news on that for the next newsletter

  Nothing has been heard from BT either about the green box supposedly to be installed in September or the ‘white space’ service which went offline for 2 weeks in June but is now running again. It appears to be impossible to find anyone at BT to talk to about either of these subjects.
