- Parents staged a 24-hour darts marathon at The Grapes pub in 1990 and raised more than £1,000 towards a new building for the village playgroup. A fundraising committee had set a £20,000 target to replace a dilapidated building behind William Fletcher School.
- It was time to re-tune the six bells at St Bartholomew’s Church in 1987. Bell expert Frank White and churchwarden John Appleton are pictured 60ft up in the bell tower.
A fierce storm brought down trees in the grounds of William Fletcher Primary School in 1990, so pupils got to work and planted 20 hornbeam, mountain ash and cherry trees to replace them. Each tree carried the name of the child who planted it.
