BEST KEPT VILLAGE COMPETITION

• This year Hankerton isn’t in the ‘Best Kept Village’ competition – having won the Small Villages trophy last year, we now spend 2 years in the ‘Laurence Kitching Winner of Winners’ competition, competing against the winners of all 3 size categories from the past 2 years.
• Our judging period is 1-31 July – the judges will visit on one day in the month.
• As always, the key is – don’t drop litter, and pick up any you see.

We now have the arrangements in place for Dad’s funeral. The crematorium will just be family and very close friends. 

But for anyone else who would like to join us we are having a celebration of Dad’s motoring life at Winkworth Farm in Lea, at 2pm on Tuesday 17th June. 

I would love to see everyone there and if people are able to come I’d like to know so that I can get an idea on numbers for the caterers.  Apparently they need to know by the middle of next week (11th).

Also to note:
No flowers
Bright clothes
Interesting car if possible

If you plan to come please let me know :
