Swoop

Book a stall
Good news is that the sought-after kitchen area of the town hall has been booked for the Spring Fair, to be held on Friday and Saturday, October 5 and 6. When the kitchen area is booked, it immediately creates a busy, bustling atmosphere and this, together with stalls already booked, will ensure that there is plenty to eat, drink and spend money on. Marie may be contacted at 082 2935757 for more information.
Lucky draw winners
Winners in the latest Lions lucky draw are Manu Barnard (Tiago’s); Katy Scapin (Fifi’s Fresh Fish); Magda Evert (Salon Marguerite), Judy Aiston (Hibberdene Pharmacy) and Cheryl Beck (Christmas cake).

On the prayer list
Richard O’Neill and Connie Olwage have been discharged from hospital, though Connie is still in a lot of pain from her rib and lung injuries. Thoughts are also with Lindy Gumley, Theresa Ngwabe and Tom Kent, none of whom are well.

Your scribe retired from the South Coast Herald at the end of August and was seriously contemplating resigning from the neighbourhood news as well. She was, however, persuaded to stay on and so you will be blessed with her for a while longer. Don’t forget to keep Lizzie busy with Hibberdene news and snippets.
