Allotments

Vegetables
The Parish Council has seventeen allotments on two sites within the village, neither of which has mains water or on-site car parking. Rents are therefore quite low. Plots and half-plots are available, but the turnover of allotment-holders is also low and there is sometimes a waiting list.

The allotments are administered by the Parish Council.

 

Book Group

Books
The Drayton Parslow Book Group meets once a month in members’ homes. We limit the group to ten people, this being the maximum that most members can seat comfortably. We usually study a novel or a biography each month. If you are interested in joining please contact Wendy Preston on 01296 720426

Cricket Club

CricketThe club can trace back its history over at least 125 years and has always played an active part in village life.  On Saturdays Drayton plays league cricket in the Morrant Four Counties League, and on Sundays friendlies against local sides. The club encourages village youngsters and is always on the look-out for new players.  It purchased a mobile net in 2008 as a means of bringing on players. The President and Vice Presidents, who are mainly residents of the village, have all supported the club over many years through their generous contributions.

Drayton Parslow Singers

Choir

Drayton Parslow Singers are a small group of choral singers, who put on two or three varied concerts each year, with the Christmas Carol Concert being a regular favourite. New singers are welcome to come and give it a try at any time - men and women, young and old.

Rehearsals are held every Tuesday evening at 8pm. In the summer months you will find us in Holy Trinity Church, in the winter the Baptist Chapel. Just turn up if you'd like to give it a try.

If you'd rather talk first, please call Anne Glenn on 01296 720777.
