June is a busy month in Sheriff Hutton with the School Scarecrow trail on June 14th ,a Jumble Sale onSaturday 20th June plus a host of other activities. Probably the major event of the month are the Silver Jubilee celebrations for the new Village Hall on Saturday 13th June. there will be something for everyone with events starting at 3-00pm and finishing with a disco in the evening, All are very welcome.

As promised last month I enclose a further extract from Alan's notes on village life-------

'Some come for a little more than a chat. Both Gill and I have strong views on many issues and are not possessed of a great tolerance or long temper. This is no secret, but people still insist on initiating a discussion, fully in the knowledge that we are somewhat restricted in what we can say by way of response. To my eternal shame I have resisted the temptation to moderate my response on a small number of occassions,of which perhaps more later.

Yet others (mentioning no names,obviously) rejoice in browsing the shop for some considerable time then asking for some obscure product that they know we don't stock, then feigning disappointment and walking off empty handed. Thankfully this has been known to backfire on the custmer when the 'required' product is found and the customer is 'obliged' to make a purchase.

More next month----
