It truly does seem like summer is upon us! Everyone’s talking gardening and camping and the watering regime has begun!
The SBCC held its last regular meeting of the year on May 13. Although the meetings are finished, the activity is actually building!
Our first Farmer’s Flea Market of the year was held May 17. Lots of vendors were on hand, many new faces too. We are very excited that this year’s venture is under way. The Market will continue every Sunday from 10 – 2 at Clemes Hall on Hwy 8. You’ll find everything from bedding plants to baking, jewellery to quilts, second hand treasures, fine art, and of course locally grown food!

Bingo will be taking a break for the summer – June 15 will be that last one, then we’ll start up again in September. The attendance is picking up, and I hope we can finish off the season with a bang and a great turn out! Thanks so much to Craig and Oliva Watson for dedicating themselves to hosting this bingo!
Madden Island clean-up has been scheduled for May 30 at 10 am. Let’s get the campground looking good for all the visitors that are lucky enough to come across this delightful slice of heaven. Bring your weedwackers, rakes, gloves etc. We are hoping that enough folks turn up that we’ll finish in time to also work on the graveyard.
Mark Sept. 9 in your calendar for our AGM. We are always looking for new members, come out and help us all make a difference to make Spences Bridge an even better place to call home.
