Coronation

Several people have commented to us that a celebration of the upcoming

coronation of King Charles would be a fitting way to mark this historic

event, and we are inclined to agree.

Following the success of Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee event last summer we

are working with the Parish Council to create an event along similar lines. It has been suggested that we host an afternoon tea on the Sunday 7th May

at the playing field. We welcome all offers of help in organising it and on

the day so please don’t hesitate to let us know. We will post updates on the

Sherfield English Residents Facebook group as and when we have more

information and in April’s SEDCA newsletter when we will have the full programme.

Progress is being made on the replacement playground equipment. Discussions with manufacturers to find the best options with hopefully a final decision soon. Watch this space!

February 2022 Update

Following the AGM on the 15th November 2021 the Chair (Stephen Dovey) and Secretary (Barbara Griffiths) did indeed both step down after many years of dedicated service. The committee, and I’m sure many of us in Sherfield English, would like to extend our very warmest thanks to them for all their hard work.

A new Chair (Jerome Hoffman) and Secretary (Julianna Bellamy) were appointed and we look forward to trying to do as good a job as Stephen and Barbara - big shoes to fill for sure!

We’re still very keen to hear from anyone with any suggestions about how we can make further progress on addressing the weeds around the edge of the field and also generally maintaining the football pitches.

In addition we now have two vacancies on the committee for SERP so please let us know if you think that you can help – no deep experience required just a desire to help support the maintenance and development of one of our local facilities that adds so much to village life.

To find out more about SERP, if you have any suggestions or if you’re interested in joining the committee then please drop us an email at serp.field@gmail.com

A big thank you to everyone who came to our Bonfire and Firework
