HOLMESFIELD VILLAGE SOCIETY

I hope this issue of the Parish Magazine finds you well. So the snow finally arrived and lots of you took some stunning photos of our gorgeous village. This of course means that the Holmesfield Village Society ‘Photo Competition’ is now underway. The aim is to find a suitable wintry scene for use as a Christmas card. It doesn’t have to be a snowy scene – however it must be a view of Holmesfield, the surrounding villages, or of our fabulous local wildlife. Just remember that we are looking to find a photograph suitable for a Christmas card. We can accept portrait, landscape or panoramic photos so long as it is high resolution enough to print. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact one of the Holmesfield Village Society team or send an email to holmesfieldvillage@ gmail.com before the closing date of Sunday 16th April. The photos will be put to a ‘peoples vote’ in April to find the winner. Updates and competition terms and conditions will be available on our Facebook page and there will be a prize for the winner. The card will be printed to sell locally for Christmas to raise funds for village events and projects.

Last month we announced our ‘Smiling Sunflower Competition’ for the kids in the village. Our seeds have now arrived which is great news. The Royal Horticultural Society recommends planting sunflowers indoors to give them a head start in early spring and then plant out in April/May. The Village Society are providing the seeds so that everyone will be growing the same variety. To get hold of your sunflower seeds simply email holmesfieldvillage@gmail.com or call Alison Taylor on 07725 705500. Your ‘Smiling Sunflowers’ will be judged later in the year. The biggest flowerhead will be the winner and will receive a prize!
