Tucker’s Christmas Reindeer Sale

TUCKERS CHRISTMAS REINDEER SALE 2022

Mike and Glenys invite you to come along to their 4th annual Christmas Reindeer sale on Saturday 19 November from 10.00am to 4.00pm at 29 Vennwood Close. Apart from the stars of the show there will be some lovely things to buy and a festive atmosphere to get you in the Christmas mood. We are being joined by some local crafters on the day and will be holding the usual raffle with some excellent quality prizes (including a luxury food hamper and a home baked and decorated Christmas cake). Once again, profits from this and from the sale of some crafts, will be donated to our charity of choice, the Wenvoe Wildlife Group. Between you and us there might be a visit from a gent in a red suit on his sleigh! There will, again, be home made cake sold by the slice and all craft tables will be under the cover of decorated gazebos. Why not join us and pick up a reindeer and some Christmas spirit! These have become collectors items so start making a list of people who deserve one as a gift. We would love to see you.

Fundraising to Replace Memorial Bench

Fundraising to Replace Memorial Bench Destroyed in a Storm.

I am sure that many of you are aware that the attractive, and well used memorial bench on the village green was sadly destroyed in a storm in November last year. The bench was in memory of my mother, Audrey Rees, and was donated to the village by myself and my father in 2010. It goes without saying that it has been heart-breaking to see such a well-cared for, and appreciated bench, in memory of a close family member, destroyed by a falling tree. A bench which I personally used to take the time and care to thoroughly clean and oil every year.

I know that the bench on the village green is much missed by the village as a whole. I would love to replace it with an identical one. A replacement bench would cost £1,220. I have therefore launched a fundraising campaign, to hopefully raise the amount necessary in order to replace it. Any donations, whether they be large or small, would be gratefully received. Donations may be made in the following Gofundme crowdfunding campaign: https://gofund. me/4a825edc

Should any donations be raised in excess of the target amount, these would be donated to a worthy cause, namely the Wenvoe Environment Team. The Environment Team help to maintain the village green, and any other community areas around the village which need attention.

I thank you for your time, support and kind words.

Wenvoe Tennis Courts To Be Refurbished

WENVOE TENNIS COURTS TO BE REFURBISED

I can confirm that funds have been secured, via Tennis Wales, to resurface the Tennis Courts at the Recreation Field in Wenvoe.

A pay gate will be installed that requires booking via the Tennis Wales app. Free provision at the site will be offered at certain times such as during the peak summer months when free open days will be scheduled to promote the site and allow residents to join in organised activity or free play. Tennis Wales is also developing a free offer which will be used at sites to engage with local groups.

Tennis Wales will also be implementing programmes for the local schools to support the curriculum and wider school outcomes. Our programme brings together inclusive PE lesson plans, personal development resources, teacher training and much more. It’s all been designed by teachers, for teachers, and it’s all free. Tennis Wales offer schools who complete our free online primary or secondary teacher training course a £250 reward voucher. The voucher can be spent on tennis equipment or 10 hours of team teaching with an LTA Accredited Coach.

Pricing Policy

Tennis Wales has developed a low-cost pricing policy which supports them to protect and prepare tennis courts for the future. As a not for profit organisation, any funds generated from the site are reinvested into the annual maintenance, future resurfacing costs and local community engagement.

We have 3 options designed for families, students and casual users:

  • Family Pass – £39.00 (per year)

 

Any household family member can book & play for 12 months, with as much tennis as they wish to play included.

  • Student Pass – £19.00 (per year)

 

Any student can book & play for 12 months, with as much tennis as they wish to play included.

  • Pay & Play – £4.50 per court, per hour

 

Simply book online, pay for the hour and give tennis a try.

The refurbished courts will also provide an opportunity, with Tennis Wales assistance, to re-establish a Tennis Club in Wenvoe.
