Past Village Events
Remembrance Sunday 10th November 2024
On a dry chilly Sunday morning villagers met at the village flagpole to commemorate those that have served and especially those that paid the ultimate sacrifice from Cosgrove and Old Stratford.
David Smith read the Exhortation:
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”
The Last Post sounded and the village clock chimed 11.00am to begin the two-minute silence. David then read the Epitaph:
"When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today."
Colin Kightley read out the names of the 34 servicemen from the two villages, who sacrificed their lives during the two World Wars.
Ex serviceman, Steve Radford laid the wreath at the foot of the village sign.
Litter Pick - Easter 2023
Our group of volunteers cleaned and painted the inside of the bus shelter, improved the guttering to catch more rain water for watering the planters, straightened the litter bin mounting post and removed a concrete slap from the Playing Field.
They tackled the ongoing battle with ivy on the cemetery wall and gate pillar. The previous efforts that included severing the ivy's feed stems, causing it to die off and dry, made it easier to peel away small sections of the dead plant without damage to the wall and pillar.
Thank you all for your highly valued efforts.
