Kingsway Villagers

Over the last 6 months I have worked very hard on my garden which I always enjoy, and I thought this year I would enter the Kingsway Village in Bloom, gardening competition.

I sat outside Tesco’s from 2:45 ’til 4 waiting for the judges to turn up. I asked at Tesco’s, they knew nothing about it. I asked at the hairdressers, the pub’ and I spoke to three ladies in the coffee shop to no avail.

I finally rang Clive who was most helpful, and he rang and left me a text message to say they have been!

I cannot believe that they stood outside Tesco’s and then waited in the coffee shop. The post on the 8th clearly states judging will take place outside the shopping area opposite the school not in the coffee shop.

Congrat’s to the house in Thatcham Avenue who won, which Clive informed me.

Morning All,

The KRA wishes to confirm with those residents who entered the Kingsway Village in Bloom 2013 competition; judging & prizes from Miller Homes (sponsor) to be awarded to the winner will take place on Saturday, 17/08/13′ at 3pm - on the ‘village green’ outside the shopping area opposite Kingsway School.

Please could those residents who entered the event gather at this point so the winner can have their prize awarded to them, and equally take part in media photo’s for both KRA & Miller Homes as part of the events promotional requirement.

Closing date for entries is 20th July…

There are some great prizes waiting to be won and still some categories without any entrants, so…

GET YOUR ENTRY IN ASAP.

Kingsway Residents’ Association is hosting ‘The Big Lunch’ event in the Park, off Woodvale, on Sunday 2nd June.

Why not come along and join in the fun between 12 and 4pm?

This is a chance for Kingsway villagers to come together for a picnic lunch and enjoy the entertainment we have laid on including: Live music by ‘Sweet Enough’, Refreshments, Face Painting, Donkey Rides, Bouncy Castle, Kid’s Rides, Tombola, Coconut Shy, Craft Stalls and many more.

The one thing we haven’t managed to arrange is the weather but the forecast is on our side so fingers crossed!

We hope to see you there on Sunday.

Hi All,

Thank you all for your nominations to the Residents Association Committee. Nominations closed last night and the new committee will be introduced at the AGM on the 14th November - 7pm at the School.

Those who nominated themselves will receive an email to introduce each other and to get preliminary issues sorted out.

We will also have the head of the New School as our Guest speaker as well as the Police and QUVL to discuss current issues.

We will be reviewing the activities of the KRA over the past year and, as always, be open to your questions, comments and requests.

Afterwards we aim to retire to the Barn Owl.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers,
Barry
