We all know the importance of giving blood and this time you really have no excuse as on Saturday June 1st between 9.30am and 12.30 pm you can go along to St Mary’s Church and do your good deed for the day.

Giving safe blood saves lives. An example of just a small selection of people you could help are women with pregnancy complications, children with anaemia and those involved in accidents.

To prepare yourself for this selfless deed you are advised to have a good night’s sleep, eat regular meals, drink lots of fluids and wear comfortable clothing.

So what are you waiting for? Grab a bunch of friends and head down to St Mary’s in Rickmansworth on June 1st and do something amazing.

On Sunday 13th May Chorleywood New Parade will be host to a gastronomic experience !

Chorleywood Business Association has organised for a French Market to visit the area, with approximately 14 stalls selling French delights such as “patisserie”, “fromage” and “saucisson.”

French markets are known for their fine foods, beautifully presented stalls and their warm and inviting ambience. Stall owners are friendly and approachable and usually willing to be quite generous with their samples!

A real must for any self certified Francophones in Chorleywood, Rickmansworth and the surrounding areas.

To celebrate National Compost Week, West London Composting are kindly giving away compost at the Aquadrome from 8.30 am until the compost runs out!

Compost is organic matter rich in nutrients which can be used in gardening, organic farming and landscaping. There is a myriad of benefits which can be achieved through the use of compost such as:

– An abundance of nutrients not usually found in fertilisers
– Nutrients are released slowly through compost
– Beneficial insects are found in compost
– Compost can reduce pesticides

So, bring a bag down to the car park on May 8th and pick up some of this wonderful substance and see the difference it can make to your gardening. There is a maximum of two bags per household.

 

On Thursday 18th April Watersmeet will be showing the adaptation of the stage sensation which has been seen by more than 62 million people around the world.

The matinee performance will start at 2pm and the evening performance is set to start at 745 pm with the bar serving drinks and light refreshments from 645 pm.

Due to the popularity of this box office smash, Watersmeet suggests booking in advance to avoid disappointment. The booking line is open Monday to Friday from 10am – 4pm and can be reached on 01923 711063.

This is a fantastic opportunity to come and support your local theatre whilst also experiencing the film which has received critical acclaim on either side of the Atlantic.

 

This coming Saturday 13th April we will be in the usual place at the Fox & Hounds off Rickmansworth High street from 10.30am until 3.30pm.

We have decided to set these times so throughout the rest of the year, be it spring summer or winter (or a bit of all three!) our timings are now always 10.30- 3.30pm.

This month we are introducing a few new stall holders, one of which is Smoothieride. Yes.. a smoothie and a ride… what could it mean? I don’t want to ruin the surprise so come along and see what all the fuss is about.

Also joining us again is the lovely Michelle with her ‘Secret’ kitchen and we are looking forward to seeing our friends McGrumy & Snuffles. Their wonderful organic pet treats and toys are really unique and served up with a dose of pure fun. All of our stalls are run by local people with passion so please come and support us!
