BRAMLEY FETE Bramley Fete is always a total highlight for my kids. Congrats to Cllr Jane Austin and all the organisers - and especially Phil the loudspeaker guy who pointed us towards the amazing waffle stall who were apparently there by accident as they had meant to go do a fete at a different Bramley somewhere else - surely there can only be one Bramley worth visiting?
COMPTON FETE Then as a bonus we went for the first time to the Compton Fete. Totally different in character - you can see maggot races and ferret racing for a more unusual experience alongside other more traditional attractions. Thanks to Jill Eyles for welcoming me and with others making it such a success. There is no better way to spend a weekend in Surrey than at two village fetes in one day!
CANVASSING OR DELIVERING LEAFLETS are the best way to stay healthy and have a long life! Just reply to this email if you would like to join in. If you are in the new Farnham and Bordon constituency why not sign up to Conservative candidate Greg Stafford’s email at this address [email protected]. Greg will make a tremendous MP although I remain sad to say goodbye to Farnham and Haslemere!
SURGERY CALLS This week’s call was to a young man who goes to Godalming College about ‘Owen’s law’ - a campaign to require all restaurants and cafes to warn people proactively about ingredients that could cause an allergic reaction such as peanuts. A very important issue for people like him who can suffer anaphylactic shocks and I will see what I can do to help.
PHYLLIS TUCKWELL Please join me in supporting Phyllis Tuckwell who are launching their campaign to build a new hospice. Over the weekend Phylis Tuckwell ran a 36-hour appeal so every donation made in this window will be doubled up to the campaign goal of £420,000 by some generous Phyllis Tuckwell match donors. Please do sponsor them if you can: https://www.charityextra.com/pth/sarah-church.
ASH ROAD BRIDGE As of Wednesday last week Guildford Borough Council announced a change to the traffic management layout in Foreman Road for the next stage of road widening. The section between the right turn out of Foreman Park and the left turn out of Vyne Walk will be closed to all traffic, including pedestrians. This will last around 9 weeks but will hopefully be worth it at the end of the work.
SOCIAL MEDIA If you would like more regular updates of my work locally and nationally, do follow me on Facebook, X (Twitter), WhatsApp or Instagram.
AND FINALLY… I think we will all aspire to be like this courageous 106 year old as we grow older, who just completed a 9000 ft skydive! So that means no excuses not to skydive as the next way for me to raise money for the Royal Surrey…
