Community Orchard at The Friends Meeting House, Capel

After planting our orchard in January, the trees have settled in well this year. They have shown little fruit but this is usual, as they spend their first energy developing roots.

Unfortunately the bee swarm that was moved in the autumn, has died – but this again is not unusual and we will try again in Spring.

Thank you to all who have contributed in different ways, diggers, planters, waterers, weeders, beekeepers….

Capel Pre-School and Out Of School Club

We are having a busy and exciting Autumn Term and are delighted that we have been joined by lots of new families. The children are settling well and we have all been enjoying the recent lovely weather with lots of outdoor play. We are pleased to welcome tour new Forest School Leader Karen and have extended Forest School sessions on Monday and Friday afternoons.

Our Breakfast Club continues to grow and is getting many of us off to a good start to the day! This term we are very pleased to say that we have an After School Club too. Children up to 8 years old are all welcome – we collect and drop off from Scott Broadwood Capel base ourselves and children from other schools can be dropped to us as well. The children enjoy a warm welcome, healthy food and lots of play.

We will be holding our Annual General Meeting at the Pre-School on Thursday 12th November 2014 commencing at 8pm. This is an opportunity to find out what we have been up to over the past 12 months. All parents, carers and members of the community are very welcome to attend.

Allotments in Capel

There are allotments available at Temple Lane and also on Capel Recreation ground – ‘the Rec’. It may seem odd asking now, but starting on an allotment in autumn, means you can prepare the ground for a good start in Spring, so you can be ahead of the game.

If you are interested in an allotment of your own, please apply to the Parish Council (01306 712447) for on the Rec or to Viv Taylor for the Temple Lane Allotments.

Parish Notes For November

At the meeting of Capel Parish Council on 19th October Inspector Hamlin attended with the latest crib figures. There have been 15 minor offences since the last meeting. 7 in Capel and 8 in Beare Green. He confirmed the attendance of Chris Cannon at all the Neighbourhood Plan meetings being held in October and November to discuss road safety matters. Leaflets on other safety matters where produced and these will be distributed to groups in the Parish.

The Chairman Mandy Schryver said that on the evening of Saturday 17th October there had been vandalism at the Capel Playground when youths had set fire to the playground surface. Two youths wearing hoodies and riding bikes had been seen riding away from the scene. The fire brigade were called to put out the fire. Although the damage was small in area it will be expensive to repair.

Paula Dale had attended a MVDC Bike Forum at Dorking on behalf of the Parish Council where cyclists and residents and horse riders were represented. She said there was a danger to horse riders emerging from bridle paths onto the roads where cyclists are racing and suggested they be made aware of the bridle paths before starting their races. Each group made their presentation and this was followed by a mainly polite question and answer session. Inspector Hamilin said nothing can be done to prevent cycle clubs holding races on public roads but suggested better advance warning information could be provided to communities.
