Horningsea Herald May 2021

Here’s May’s Horningsea Herald.

The first event in this month’s Herald is the literary Zoom event this afternoon to announce the winners of this year’s Horningsea Short Story Competition. The Zoom link to join is within the Herald.

Last month the Crown and Punchbowl reopened and on Tuesday the 18th the Plough and Fleece will reopen. How great to have both village pubs open again! Make sure you use them, the village would be poorer without these two fine establishments and after the past year they really want to see you!

Finally you will undoubtedly have seen the surveying work and the large compound built on Low Fen Drove at Honey Hill. Save Honey Hill group are fundraising, the first aim is to fund the initial legal advice that is essential for the campaign. Many people and businesses across the area have donated. There’s still a long, long way to go though. The fundraising leaflet is here. There’s also a A poster. Please put this on your wheelie bin or window.

The group are also currently looking for viewpoints in the village and on paths where you would see the 26 metre digestor towers. If you can see the pylons at Honey HIll from your house or garden, then you will see the sewage works. Please email any photos with location data preserved to info@savehoneyhill.org.

Winners of the Horningsea Short Story Competition

The winners will be announced at a Literary afternoon on Zoom on

Bank Holiday Monday 3rd May at 4pm – 5.30pm.

The Judges are: Cressida Downing, Alison Bruce, Janet Bingham, Ben Quash and Angela Brown (winner last time). Fran Johnstone is chairing the Judges who have already had a preliminary meeting to see if they can narrow down the entries to a short list.

On 3rd May there will be a talk and writing activity for children led by Janet Bingham – make sure you have paper and pencil or crayons so you can join in. Cressida and Alison will then talk about writing skills and their own writing techniques.

The winners will be asked to read their entries.

We hope that later in the year we can have a “live” event with our judges and other authors – but we have to wait for the Covid rules to change.

The link to Zoom will be in the Horningsea Herald and the village Facebook page.

If you cannot access the link, email franjohnstone (at) me.com

Thanksgiving service for the Duke of Edinburgh – Friday 16 April at 6pm

We particularly want to celebrate the Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme. Did you or a member of your family take part in the D of E? Did you get your bronze, silver or even gold award? Did you have any adventures or disasters on your expeditions? If so, please come along wearing your badge (if you can find it) and perhaps you can tell us your D of E story?

Did you meet Prince Philip on one of his many visits to Cambridge? Again, we will ask you to share any memories during the service.

If you can come, please call Jennie on 864 513 by 6pm on Thursday 15 April so we can work out a Covid-compliant seating plan.

Stay safe – don’t forget to wear a face mask.

Horningsea Herald April 2021

Here’s April’s Horningsea Herald.

The church has two riverside services this Easter. One perhaps a little early for many of this village.

The nice weather of the past few days may have gone, but things are looking up for a better spring and summer. The pubs are opening again and we have a new water taxi.

Mask up, keep your distance and get those jabs when offered. Let’s look forward to a social(ish) year (perhaps…!).

Wild Mothering Sunday Service on 14th March at 10.30am

In Horningsea Churchyard

Wild Mothering Sunday Service (about 40 minutes)

See attached poster for more details.

We have our fingers crossed that by 14th March the weather will be improving and we
might feel a bit less anxious about going out so we have planned a Wild Mothering
Sunday Family Service in the churchyard.

The Covid rules will still apply so masks must be worn by adults and we will keep in our bubbles 2m apart.

There will be activities involving pebbles and flowers!

Please bring a picnic mat, ground sheet or picnic chairs … and wear warm, waterproof clothes!

Please let us know if you plan to come by ringing Jennie on 864513 or email japov7@googlemail.com

That’s so we can ensure we don’t exceed our risk assessment numbers.

It is hard to believe that it will be a whole year since we went into the first lockdown …
we were told to close the church the day before Mothering Sunday last year. Let us
hope we can celebrate emerging once more!

Horningsea Herald March 2021

Here’s March’s Horningsea Herald

There’s another Short Story competition. The rules are attached. Sharpen your keyboard and wipe your pencils.

We have a Spring Equinox concert on Saturday 20th March (by Zoom) with many of our talented residents singing, reading a poem, or playing an instrument.

Here are the rest of March’s church services.

On Tuesday 2nd at 19:30 the Save Honey Hill group have organised a webinar with Anglian Water. It is very important that as many residents attend as possible. If they think you do not care, then they will do as they please. See the attached flyer for more information and the meeting link (Zoom).

Look after yourselves and your neighbours. Mask up, keep your distance and we may get to enjoy a summer!

Kind regards
