Village Bulletin Quiz 2016 Results
Fourteen teams entered the Village Bulletin Quiz held on Saturday 8th October in the Orpen Hall. Together with a raffle and a very popular game of ‘Human Bingo‘, the event raised £336 for the Colchester branch of the Parkinson’s UK charity.
Chris Stevenson, Chairman of the Parish Council, presented the cheque at this week’s Council meeting. Will Owen, who also attended the quiz, expressed his gratitude for the donation on receiving the cheque on behalf of Parkinson’s.

The Parish Council team of Phil Spencer, Chris Stevenson, Laura Walkingshaw and Harry Stone won this year; apparently this was not a fix. 🙂
Susan Leng, quizmaster, and other organisers and Bulletin Team helpers also attended for the presentation. The Parish Council thanked the team for their hard work in running such an enjoyable evening.

The Village Bulletin Quiz this year will be held on Saturday 8th October starting at 7pm in the Orpen Hall. Teams of four people can enter. Each team can represent a local business, organisation or club or just a group of friends. At least one member of each team must be a West Bergholt resident.
OK, it’s not 2014 any more but that memorable image of Lord Kitchener pointing his finger lingers, especially since it now graces a 50p coin.
So, since I’ve been webmaster for the village I have posted over 30 editions of the Village Bulletin online which ensures that there is a live archive, but what about those paper copies you receive through your doors? What about the energy that goes into creating them in the first instance? This is all down to the hard work of a small group of committed individuals creating and distributing the bulletin, they are now after some local support:
We are looking for a new Committee member to join the existing group but who will also be able to get involved and organise bundling of the Bulletins to give to the distributors each quarter and to organise holiday cover and find new distributors as and when required.
Please contact Bernard Colbron 240297.
I hope you are able to lend your support on this,
Dave, (webmaster).
