DOES YOUR NEIGHBOUR NEED YOUR HELP?

The following advice was issued by Gloucestershire County Council on 18th March 2020.  It is still very relevant and useful information. 
​

It is important that we do all we can to help those in our communities that are likely to become more isolated as measures are put in place to delay the spread of Covid-19. There are some simple but effective things we can all do to help:
  • Making sure they have enough food and other general supplies to cover a few days - there is no need to panic buy though
  • Walking their dog, picking up a prescription, putting out their bins or taking in a parcel
  • Phoning, Skyping or Facetime them so they can see a friendly face, helping to reduce their isolation
  • Sharing child care or other caring responsibilities
  • Checking if any of their planned appointments have been cancelled before they travel
  • Making sure they have some simple recipes to hand, if they are not the normal chef or have done some batch cooking for the freezer
There is already a strong response from our communities that should be celebrated.  To help promote good practise happening in the county, we would ask you to share what you’re doing via social media, using the hashtag #gloscommunity on Twitter.      
Please visit our webpage for more information and to find resources that you can use in your local community. 
It’s important that we all continue to follow the national advice and guidance which can be found at 
www.nhs.uk.   



​​Barn Dance Classes

The monthly country dancing sessions at
Apperley Village Hall are not taking place during the Covid pandemic.
​
Usually there are about 20 at each, but  still room for a few more!  The classes are  usually held on the 4th Thursday of the month, from 2 - 4pm.  There will be an expert caller
 to teach and call the dances, so do please come along, you will be made very welcome.  
  The cost of each session is still only £3.00 each, children free.  You do not  need to book, just turn up, on  your own or with a friend. The cost  includes squash, tea & coffee and even  biscuits!     

​


​You do not  need to be an expert, and there is live  music from members of the Amazing  Matchless Band and guests. For further details  e-mail me (astrid@astridsart.com)
or telephone 01452 780401


You can see a barn dancing class in action on this You Tube video!

Heritage Apple Trail

The Heritage Apple Trail runs from Deerhurst Priory to Cooks Green, Lower
Apperley.  You can join the trail wherever you want as most of the trees are
next to footpaths.  It is hoped to make a trail leaflet available in the future
and the trees will all be clearly labelled.    To find out more about the
heritage apple trail  and  the varieties please visit 
www.apperleydeerhursthistory.co.uk  
and go  to the heritage page.
