Threadgill Cup 2009

This year's garden competition will have a number of categories to encourage you all to enter no matter how small your garden, or how little time you have to tend it.

Judging will take place during the week beginning the 6th July. There will be a winner for each category as well as an award for the best design, and of course the Threadgill Cup will be awarded to the very best entry.

You may enter as many categories as you wish.
If your neighbour's garden is lovely please nominate it (with their permission!)

Abbotts Ann Primary - New School Build

Residents may have noticed that work is in progress on the land adjacent to Criswick Close.

This is for the construction of the new Primary School which has been notified previously through the Abbotts Ann, village meetings, PC minutes etc.

The work proper started on 27 April 2009 and is planned to complete on or around 8 March 2010.

Disruption should be kept to a minimum with construction traffic arriving and leaving from the Red Rice junction with the A343. Deliveries and work on the site should be between the hours of 0800-1800. (No weekend work is planned, however Saturday might be used should the construction program slip). The site will be bounded by appropriate security fencing, however parents are encouraged to keep their children away from the site for the obvious safety reasons.

Many thanks.
Paul Stanton, Chair of Governors

		Abbotts Ann and its History One of the earliest documented entries of the parish occured in the Domesday Survey of 1096. By then Abbotts Ann was only paying taxes on 8 hides of land, but it had three mills, and Little Ann had two. Of these sites only two are now known -- the Upper Mill, Monxton, which is within Abbotts Ann Parish, and the Lower Mill in Mill Lane.
