JAN 15TH 1971 Bill Sarney retires today (Friday) on his 65th birthday after 51 years on the Nettlebed Estate. During that time he has made bricks, felled trees, driven engines, carts and tractors, milked cows, and done a thousand other jobs for three generations of the Fleming family. When Bill started work on the estate at the tender age of 14 there were probably something like 150 men working there. Now there are only sixteen. Bill came to the estate from a small farm at Catslipe where "They gave me the sack when I was 14 for feeding the horses and cheeking the girls". He had done farm work when he was still at school - from 7 to 9 o'clock in the morning, another hour at twelve and then from 4 to 7 in the afternoon.

Work on the Village Club roof starts on Saturday

By editor Comment Closed
Work at the Village Club starts on Saturday when the scaffolding will go up ready to start repair work to the roof next week. The windows back and front will be done first followed by roof repair in January. It has been a long and uphill journey but, finally, we can make a start. May I take this opportunity to thank everyone who had helped get this project off the ground. Much more money is still needed so if anyone feels like raising cash for this cause remember the halls are always there for this purpose. Sue Worth s.worth999@btinternet.com...
