The NEW Gayton Village Website

It is an exciting time to join the WI and as it is some time since there was a WI in Gayton, we’d like to find out if you’d like to be part of a new WI in the village.

The WI is open to all women over 18 years of age and offers a wide range of activities from learning new skills to campaigning on issues which matter to our members. In recent years we have tackled issues such as Climate Change, Modern Slavery, Autism and ADHD in women and girls, and many more.

WIs have monthly meetings and also form interest groups with topics such as crafts, walking and even eating out. Whatever appeals to your members.

If you’d like to come along with existing friends or to meet new people and make new friendships, please let us know. If there is enough interest we’ll have an introductory meeting to tell you more.

The litter pick will take place between the 8th – 16th April. This is a great opportunity to clear the village verges ready for the spring. I have litter pickers, high viz tabards and black sacks. You just need your own gloves

Please contact me if you can help. Many hands make light work.

There are a group of “willing volunteers” who are helping to keep the stiles, footpaths, pavements & footways in the Parish clear. We have been restricted recently due to poor weather but therea re some stiles that need some maintenance as well as the footways on Blisworth Road and Back Lane that need some attention. We tend to work weekdays as the team are all retired, However, I do plan to offer some dates at weekends to attract others.

I understand that “Chain Gang” is not very PC as it smacks off slavery. I have consulted the Cambridge dictionary and can confirm that the definition is “a group of prisoners who have to work outdoors outside the prison whilst tied together with chains. No mention of slaves. An apt description of our Gaytn group!

Gayton Church Heritage Trust is seeking to raise money for much needed improvements to the Church including upgrading the heating system and replacing the boiler. Fundraising has been difficult this year due to the pandemic, so to make it easier for anyone wishing to donate to the project a JustGiving page has been set up. If you would like to help us raise funds to improve the facilities so that the community and school can make better use of the building throughout the year, please visit the page by clicking the link below.

Many thanks for your support. www.justgiving.com/gaytonchurchheritage
