| A belated welcome to John and Terri Nicholson who
have moved into Deepdale in the village, I am sure that
they will be a great assett to both the village and
estate.. Both John and Terri have shown great enthusiasm
for the Blagdon community and we have gratefully welcomed
them on to the tenants committee this year planning
estate events for 2009. |

|
| Events 2009. |
|
|
| Planning has started for this years events and we
hope to repeat both the Easter Egg Trail and Summer
Event, details will be sent out in due course. Please
feel free to offer help and suggestions, we are always
looking for fresh ideas. |
|
|
| The tenants are planning to run the two Red Cross
days this year. traditionally these have been organised
and run by Red Cross volunteers. This year we intend to
run everything ourselves with a group of estate
volunteers. We hope that we can make a lot of money for
the Red Cross and have a bit of fun on the day. Hopefully
if things go well we might be able to add some extra
activities for future events. |
|
|
| We are really encouraged with the amount of willing
helpers we have amonst our tenants, I appreciate people
giving their time to contribute to the Blagdon Community
and it is particularly gratifying to be able to help
raise funds for charities. So a big thank you to all who
are helping and building on the strong sense of community
that we all enjoy at Blagdon. |

| Winter Weather |
|
|
| We are now well into the coldest winter for many
years. Please take care when walking or driving around
the estate, as estate paths and roads can become very
slippery. Please take all precautions to keep your house
warm and to help prevent frozen pipes. There are local
companies who can help advise on draught proofing and
energy saving to help keep utility bills down. Warm Zone
have been found to be quite good, they can be contacted
on 01670 356642. |
