MITCHEL TROY BRING AND BUY SALE
Thank you to those who brought and to those who bought.
And a big thank you to the team of helpers who set up and decorated the Village Hall on Friday, sorting through the huge mounds of bric-a-brac, clothes, toys and books, and laying out plants, with even more arriving on Saturday, and then stood manning the stalls and refreshments, to achieve a whopping profit of £480 for Mitchel Troy’s Bring & Buy.
A cheque for £240 is winging its way to Country Living for Farming and Countryside Education and the same amount is being donated to the Village Hall, our chosen local charity.
Great credit is due to Sheila Rowlands, whose energy and drive brought together the users of the Village Hall to create another very successful event for the Village.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT SECURITY
from Val Long of Mitchel Troy Community Council
“Today (1 Feb) the neighbourhood police called in to warn us about recent rural burglaries - a 'professional' gang are working all over the county - mainly stealing land rovers, but they will take anything that can be sold on. They suggest that owners should immobilize all land rovers to prevent them being driven away.
There have been 3 burglaries on the Common in the last 2 weeks, sometime during the middle of the night. We all need to be vigilant about security and letting police know of any suspicious vehicles/people.
Don't forget you can report a non-emergency incident or suspicion on 101.”
Since this warning another burglary took place on Monday 1st February in Parc Pentre, they did not have a Land Rover so we all need to be very vigilant. Also a suspicious red IZUSU 4x4 with an empty car trailer was spotted coming up from Raglan way late evening, this has now been reported to the police.
Please pass this message on to anyone who may be interested. If you want to join our email network send an email to gill.pollock@talktalk.net.
We do communicate about a range of matters, such as the snow and flooding issues as well as social events. Keep informed and stay safe.
