Thank you
My family and I would like to thank the many people who sent such an overwhelming number of messages of sympathy and love on the sudden death of Alec. They gave us so much comfort and help.
I hope you will forgive me for not contacting you all personally, particularly those who have sent donations in memory of Alec. They are going to St. Mary’s Church and will help towards the repair of the buttress.
Again, many thanks.
Pat New

Upchurch Poppy Appeal - 2018
The years 2014-18 marked the centenary of World War I from its start to the armistice being signed. Many centenary events were planned during the recent last four years at National and equally importantly at local level. This all culminated with the ‘Battles Over’ events throughout the Nation. The Royal British Legion produced in each year of the centenary poppy pin badges which were dated 1914–2014, 1915-2015, 1916-2016, 1917-2017, 1918-2018. If anyone would like a set of these five pin badges I am able to supply them for a minimum donation to the Royal British Legion of £15.
I have now been associated with the Poppy Appeal in Upchurch for more than 25 years and would appreciate a break. If you are interested in becoming the next Poppy Appeal Organiser in Upchurch please contact me and I can explain what this voluntary task entails.

ACRE Action with Communities in Rural England - #VillageHallsWeek
England’s 10,000+ Village Halls are at the heart of rural community life - providing an important hub for social activities, classes and services.
ACRE’s Village Halls Week is an initiative and annual celebration of the Village Halls and other community buildings, which exist at the heart of England’s rural communities. The aim of the week long campaign is to champion the diverse range of buildings which make up the 10,000+ strong network and promote the sheer volume of services they offer.
There will be an opportunity to say thank you to the volunteers who run the buildings and learn more about the groups, organisations, individuals and businesses who are making use of these buildings week in and week out. Predominantly the week will take place on social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), however ACRE Network members will also host events to engage with people in their area.
Nationally ACRE speaks up for Village Halls, ensuring Government policymakers are aware of the challenges faced by volunteers who are often struggling with red-tape and the demands of managing a community building.
Upchurch Village Hall
Upchurch Village Hall was built over 60 years ago and as a registered charity all Upchurch Village Hall Management Committee (UVHMC), members become a ‘Trustee’ of the Village Hall for the duration that they are on the Committee. All Trustees have a legal responsibility for the running of the Hall, along with all the associated health & safety and financial responsibilities. Maintenance and future planning are also part of the role.
The Village Hall Management Committee members are volunteers who meet regularly throughout the year to ensure the smooth running of the Hall for all the local groups and organisations that hire it on a regular basis, and for those individuals who hire the Hall for private parties and special family occasions.

Improvement Project - Presentation
Many of you will know that the Village Hall still needs a lot of remedial work to bring it up to standard. In recent years generous donations have been received from numerous individuals, local Councillors, Council grants, the Co-op Membership Local Community Fund and from numerous fundraising events held in the Hall itself. Together all these have enabled essential work to be carried out, and keep the Hall in good working order.
