Platinum Jubilee Fovant's Legacy
To commemorate the late Queen's Jubilee, various Art projects and installations have now been completed around the village;
the iron bench in front of 'Frog Pond' near the VIllage Hall, the beautiful Tile display inside the Youth Club, the columnar Acer on the Village Hall lawn and of course the stunning pebble Art installation in front of the Village Hall.
​
Our thanks to ALL the villagers who have created and contributed to these beautiful projects which enhance our village and mark such a significant occasion.
Dogs, Dogwalkers & Gamebirds
Many of you will have noticed the young game birds on some of the footpaths you regularly walk, and whilst most dog owners are very good at keeping their canine companions under control, there is a natural instinct in many to chase, catch and sadly kill. This is not good for your dog or the gamekeeper, Steve. Please can walkers keep to the footpaths (Walking route 6A in the Local Walks booklet HERE) and keep your dogs under control, thank you.

Bonfires
Whilst we are all aware of our rural setting and that bonfires are part of country life, respiratory illness in all generations is a growing trend, with bonfires causing exacerbation in diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructed airways.
Please could we ask that if you’re considering having a bonfire, you resist lighting it until after dusk when most residents will have closed windows and doors.
Your kind cooperation would be gratefully appreciated.

Fovant ORGAN APPEAL
at St George's Church, Fovant
At last! The work on the organ is beginning after such a long wait, during which it has enjoyed making some very peculiar noises and occasionally having a mind of its own. We think there has only been one overhaul in all the 98 years it has been working so it will be great not to have organists politely indicating that we should be doing something about it!
Although many people and organisations have been very generous and we are enormously grateful, we shall still have to make up the final part of the funds needed from savings, so if anyone feels they would like to contribute “PCC Fovant” would welcome a contribution.
Account No: 02981591, sort code 30-97-41, reference Organ Fund.
There is something pretty special about the sound of a good organ in a Church so let us look forward to that day when all is back together again without the dust and bat droppings!
