ABCA is pleased to announce the re-opening of the Parish Rooms on 31st August 2020. Bowls and Tennis activities have been played for some time now, but the opening of our Parish Rooms means that our 15 User groups and the Pre-school can use our facilities, as well as private groups for weekend parties/celebrations.

We have spent the last six weeks applying government and local community guidelines to our particular situation, taking on board the requirements for social distancing, cleaning, limited access, and putting in place measures to keep people safe. Our activities are defined in a COVID-19 Risk Assessment Plan, which has been circulated to our User groups, and is available in the section below, so that private hirers and our local community can see the measures which have been taken. We ask that every user to the Parish rooms observes and respects these.

The next issue of ABCA news will be published in early September.

The 300 Club lottery will be held this year, and we ask you for your support. As we have received no rental income since March, this will be our only fund-raising activity this year. The sale of shares this year will be different, because of the need to minimise social interaction at the doorstep, and also many of you are reluctant to purchase your shares by handling cash. Shortly every household in Acton Bridge will receive a Share Form, and we would kindly ask you to contribute by purchasing a share (you can even buy more than 1!). Once completed, the form can be returned to our lottery promoter, Bob Holt, our Parish Council Chairman. Payment can be made via BACS /on-line banking, or by enclosing a cheque/cash with your completed Share Form, if you prefer this method of payment. Our prize distribution is as in previous years. We distribute in prizes 50% of the Share proceeds, the maximum. So, if our share sale is spectacularly successful, which we hope it will be, each month from October to Christmas we should be distributing some bumper prizes! We need your support. Thank you.
