AUTUMN show: The gardening club has its big show at the Fieldgate Centre on Saturday, September 4, from 2pm.

This is the big fruit and vegetable show, but is also accompanied by autumn flowers, chrysanthemums and dahlias.

There are lots of cake, jam and other classes, along with special classes for children.

The latter are not well supported and could do with many more entries.

If you've never entered a garden show, why not give one of the "have a go" classes a try?

Details from John Eckton on 01256 850017 or Laura Butler on 01256 781892.

RIDE for the church: Saturday, September 11, is the day of the sponsored church visit on foot, bike or horseback.

Visit as many churches as you can in a day and raise funds for the church.

I believe there will be a group of cyclists starting from Kingsclere.

Call Sheila Openshaw on 299178 for details.

PARISH council: Visit the parish council stand at the summer fete and chat with councillors about the way the village is developing or just share any concerns you have.
