Please Sign the Petition to Help Re-instate the 327 Bus Timetable

I would like to thank all those villagers from both Upchurch and Lower Halstow who attended the public meeting on the 26th of August at Upchurch Village Hall regarding proposed changes to the 327 Bus timetable.

Just to inform villagers that a petition to re-instate the 327 Bus timetable (the service will be reduced with effect from Tuesday the 1st of September) is available for signing at Upchurch Newsagents / Post Office.

Latest News from Upchurch WI

August is always the month when we don't have a Meeting - we have an informal get together instead, usually centred around FOOD! This year we held a "Posh Tea Party" in Karen and Dave Taylor's garden in Oak Lane, catered for by the Committee and very much enjoyed by 45 members and friends. It was a very hot day but with the help of three gazebos and the shade of their garage and various shrubs most of us managed to keep cool.

Our next meeting is on the 8th of September at 7:30pm in the Village Hall when the Speaker, Susan Hollings will give us "A taste of Medieval Cooking".

Why don't you come and join us?
