Playing Fields will again be supporting Alison & Noel Prosser’s annual Christmas in the Square on Sunday, 15^th December 2019, 4-6pm.  This is slightly later in the month than usual so please make a date in your diary for this wonderful event which many people say is the start of their Christmas festivities.  Father Christmas is booked to come along to chat with the children, hand out gifts and switch on the tree lights.  There will also be entertainment, children’s games, a Pyne’s hog roast, Licenced Bar, Mulled Wine and other refreshments!  Be sure to look out for further information.

We will be running again next year due to requests already received, we will however ensure that the AV is fully operational well in advance, though we will be putting a limit on of 120 tickets this time.

Come along for a fantastic evening which packs in all the fun and excitement of day at the races.  The evening is professionally compared and the races are shown on a big screen.  Continuing the success of previous years, it open to families and we will start the first race sharp at 8:00.  This year we are dividing the income between the North Curry Playing Fields charity and supporting Jan Ashcroft’s Moon Walk for breast cancer care. 

WHY I'M WALKING THE WALK

Everyone knows someone who is affected by Breast Cancer. If I can make eve

n the slightest difference to help wipe out this terrible disease which has affected so many families and friends then it will be worth every step and although I realise it will be difficult, I will endeavour, on behalf of all who sponsor me to enjoy the scenery at the same time.

There will be a raffle, a tote and an opportunity to own a horse.

Tickets are now on sale at Post Office or via Jan Ashcoft, Paul Gratton or Andy Moll.  Please let us know your table booking sizes, Tables to seat 4, 6 or 8; larger groups upon request.

Father Christmas,

We are this year looking to deliver the first of a number of projects to enhance the playing field facilities.  By the time you read this we will have met with all of the children in the school and hopefully some of their parents to prioritise just what it is that we will be doing first.  The ideas we have so far are:

Notice of our AGM

Firstly it is that time of year when we the North Curry Playing Field need to have our AGM.  We are looking in addition to extra members this year, but also for someone to come onto the committee and take on the role of Treasurer, this while not a huge task is an important one, Paul Gratton who has done this for the past three years, is looking to hand on to someone new, but the great news for us is that he is still staying on the committee.

So please if you are interested in being Treasurer or just helping us manage some of the exiting challenges we have this next year get in touch pavilion@northcurry.com or volunteer at the AGM
