A group of Sparsholt School Mums are on a mission to raise some vital funds for Sparsholt C of E School.

On Saturday 24^th September, they will embark on a gruelling trek through the Brecon Beacons. They aim to complete the challenging 16km route, which takes in 4 peaks and many steep ascents and descents within 6-7 hours.

For many participants, this is a daunting prospect and they have spent the summer clocking up the kilometres as part of their training, and so they would really value your support.

The good news is, you can support them without having to leave home! The sole reason for doing this is to raise money for the school – so please show your support by sponsoring the team. All money will go directly towards the school and help fund a number of key projects. One of those being the installation of a new kitchen learning space which will enable children to start having practical food tech lessons.

All donations greatly appreciated!

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

21 April 1926 to 8 September 2022

We are deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty The Queen. As the UK’s longest serving monarch, Her Majesty has remained an influential figure throughout her 70-year reign and will be greatly missed.

On behalf of everyone in our parish, we would like to take this opportunity to offer our condolences to the Royal Family.

As a mark of respect, public Parish Council meetings will be cancelled during the period of mourning.

The flag at Littleton Recreation Ground is being flown at half mast. It will be raised to full mast on Proclamation day and then returned back to half mast at the appropriate time.

A Book of Condolence has been opened at the Littleton Millennium Memorial Hall, and will be available in the outer foyer from 9:30am to 5pm each day. Condolence books will also be available at the Winchester Cathedral, the Guildhall, the Great Hall, and online at https://www.royal.uk.

Those wishing to lay floral tributes should do so at the Cathedral, the Great Hall, and at Abbey Gardens in Winchester.
