His role is to record events and activi- ties over the last year 2016, and so he would very much appreciate any annual reports, summaries of activi- ties, quotations or contributions from clubs, organisations and individuals. These can be sent to him at The Old Post Office, Moor Road, Langham CO4 5NR or email: [email protected],uk ROAD CLOSURES As part of a planned programme of repairs to roads in the area, Essex County Council will be im- plementing road closures over the next 18 months. Roads within this parish which will be affected are: Ivy Lodge Road, Horkesley Road, Straight road, Boxted Road and Dedham Road. The work will be undertaken in three phases involving initial patching, followed by re-surfacing then re-instatement of white lines and other road markings. Although Essex County Council are unable to give exact dates for the closures at the moment, you can check the current situation and whether closures will be im- plemented in the next three months by checking online at www.Essexhighways.org/ transport-and-roads BOXTED EVERGREENS Over the festive season the club enjoyed many festive treats. As well as attending the Thursford show on 24th November, there was a stop for refreshments at Swaffham and the Christmas lights ‘switch on’ at Holt. A Christmas lunch at the New Times in Tiptree was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
