Glass recycling text message reminders
Residents of the New Forest can now sign up to a new text messaging service being introduced by the district council which will send a reminder the evening before monthly glass recycling collections are due.
As well as the text message prompt, Remind Me will reward residents for recycling their glass by entering them into a reward draw. 20 households will be randomly selected each month and, if they are recycling the right things, they can choose from a range of rewards, such as one month’s free membership at one of five New Forest Health and Leisure Centres, a family ticket to Beaulieu or a hamper full of local goodies from The New Forest Hamper Company.
The first 15,000 households to sign up will also receive a free Brand New Forest discount card, usually £5.
To register for the reminders, residents should text GLASS followed continuously by first name, last name, first line of address and postcode to 81025

(e.g. GLASS Joan Smith 1 Long Lane SO12 A34)

METAL DETECTOR

Does anyone have a Metal Detector that they might be willing to loan to a parishioner?

Please let us know.

 

And Finally . . .   A TALE of THREE KITTIES (with apologies to C Dickens!)

A week or so ago three tabby kittens along with their mother were cruelly abandoned in a cardboard box at the entrance to Castle Malwood Lodge Minstead.
They survived the night in sub zero temperatures and were found on the Friday.
A call to the Cat Protection office in Totton was quickly followed up by their Officer (Caroline) arriving and collecting the family of cats, who are now safe, warm, fed and happy.
If anyone would like to rehouse them in a secure friendly home then please phone 07515177773.
