We had an extremely successful gathering on 10th September, 2017 in Marchamley despite the short lived but heavy thunderstorms. Nearly 90 local people gathered in the marquee in the field adjoining Marchamley Club. We enjoyed tea and cake in the afternoon courtesy of the excellent cake makers in the area.
Children took part in a range of games including splat the rat, sack racing, an obstacle course and parachute games. They were rewarded with sweets and medals. The award ceremony was Olympics style with a podium where the children received their medals while the national anthem played and they received a round of applause.
We then relocated to Marchamley club later in the afternoon. Here, we enjoyed barbecued burgers and a delicious buffet supplied by local people who had all brought a plate to share. There was some great musical entertainment provided throughout the event. This was possible thanks to a generator supplying electricity outdoors.
Local people are really pulling together in organising regular events in Marchamley giving lots of their time and invaluable resources.
We are doing extremely well in fund-raising for renovations for Marchamley Club. At the BBQ we raised £156.07 which makes a total for fundraising during year of £981.17.
All welcome to the club AGM on Tuesday, 26th September at 7:30pm.

Everyone is talking about the forthcoming BBQ which will be held at Marchamley Club and in the adjoining field. Plans are taking shape; posters are up and 140 flyers are being delivered door to door.
Local people are pitching in, contributing the marquee, tables, chairs, plates and cutlery and a generator for the music.
We have a planning meeting at Marchamley Club on 22nd August at 730pm for everyone who wishes to be involved.
There will be games/sports, a cake stall with teas and coffees available throughout the afternoon. The barbecue will be on offer from later in the day with small plates charged at £2 and large ones £3. We are organising a supply of Tanners wines and real ales and lager.
We are asking everyone to donate either a cake for the cake stall or an item for the buffet to accompany the barbecue.
All profits will go towards renovating the club.
The BBQ is planned for September 10th between 2:00 & 9:30pm
