Current call for help
Any current support that may be required for village events etc will be posted here. Please check back regularly.
Some residents may no longer be able to receive the Whatlington News unless new volunteers come forward to help with deliveries. The future of the delivery service has been
thrown into doubt by a shortage of people to put the newsletter through doors, particularly in the Woodmans Oak Road area
of the village. The problem has been made more acute
by the fact Ken Jones, who has overseen the distribution
for many years, is moving out of the area early next year.
Editor Steve Turner says "While there is always the possibility of receiving digital issues via email or village websites, I know an overwhelming majority of villagers favour the hard copy version put through their letterboxes. But there is a very real danger this may not be possible for many residents in the future.
It's not an onerous task - about an hour every two months."

Can you help?
Whatlington's defibrillator is in a cabinet on the wall of the Royal Oak and if you live close by would you be prepared to offer to collect the kit and take it to the scene of an emergency in one of the outlying parts of the village? It would involve offering your phone number to be publicised in the
Whatlington News, village website and noticeboards.
If you can help please get in touch.
