Dear All,

Just a reminder that our Annual Village Party takes place tomorrow Bank Holiday Monday 4^th May 12 till 4pm. It would be great to see you there. The weather looks dry but chilly though should not deter us from coming together as a community and enjoying the afternoon.

There is plenty planned for you:

Village Green

Lots of activities on the village green for children to be occupied and we welcome all our stall holders and charity groups who are able to raise awareness of their great work. Visit our popular Tombola stall, and Soft Toy stall, which raises funds for Greenmount Village Community.

Old School

You will find a fabulous tabletop sale at Greenmount Old School with lots of bargains and a great café to take a rest and chat with friends, offering drinks and cake. A plant stall is also set up outside the old school. All funds raised at the old school will go into GVC funds.

Greenmount UR Church

Visit the Pop-Up Art Exhibition show casing work of local artists. A preview evening is organised for tonight Sunday 3^rd May from 7pm till 8pm.

If anyone is donating cakes for the café, or plants for the plant stall, please drop them off at the old school from 10am

Hope you enjoy the preview evening and tomorrow afternoon.

Kind regards,

Julie Southworth

Dear All,

I am happy to announce that Greenmount Village Community will be holding a meeting on Wednesday 15th April at Greenmount UR Church at 7pm, to discuss the restoration work planned for Peel Tower. As a community group we are linked with Proffitts CIC and the Heritage Society to promote this very important project.

The presentation will be given by Courtnay Ives who is a Senior Architect from Buttress. Buttress is a leading design studio that provides services including architecture, heritage consultancy, and conservation architecture. Courtnay will tell us about the survey work that the team have been carrying out at Peel Tower, and she will also be able to answer questions about the monument and other interesting heritage projects she’s worked on too.

Kind regards,

Julie Southworth
