A NEW village noticeboard has been erected at Holywell Lake – thanks to the efforts of a local pub.

Holywell Inn landlords Vic and Paulette Bigg, helped by locals and regulars, raised money over the last year to make and erect the board, which now stands outside the pub.

More money was raised than necessary, so it was decided to give the remaining £645 to St Margaret’s Hospice.

Thanks have been offered to everyone who gave and helped raise the money, including Gerald Brewer from Langford Budville who organised a charity race night which was a great success.

Steve Woollacott of Woollacott and Littlejohn Joinery made the noticeboard, and Brian and Martin Schofield of Custom Plastics engraved it.
