Children’s Christmas Wishes and the Blessing and Lighting of the Bagshot Christmas Tree 3rd December 4.30pm onwards
18 November, 2016 by
Bagshot has had a very special tradition for the last few years, which involves all the children of Bagshot and other special groups in the village.
Every year, Fairy Nuff – Bagshot’s own special fairy, asks the children in the schools, pre-schools, nurseries, toddler groups, churches and beyond, to write a Christmas wish. This wish or message can be for themselves, their family, friends or for wider world issues. It maybe in the form of a picture, words or simply a name. These wishes and messages are written on special cards, which are then collected in and laminated by Fairy Nuff’s little (and big) helpers. These are then hung on the safety fence around the Bagshot tree, so they can be read by family and friends, passing villagers and hopefully Father Christmas himself.They really are a delight to look at and read, the children work so hard on them and some are very thought provoking.
To make it extra special we ask Rev. Andreas Sistig to come down from St Anne’s Church to bless our wishes and our tree, before the lights are switched on. We also sing some Christmas songs and Carols before and afterwards, to get us in the Christmas spirit. Word sheets are provided! This event starts at 4.30pm by the big tree with the lights being switched on at 5pm, and then followed by about 30 minutes of more singing – weather dependent of course!!
This part of the day is organised by Fairy Nuff’s team of helpers from Bagshot Events and follows on from the end of the Bagshot Christmas Market, (which is organised by Bagshot Business Association). If you need a blank card to write a special wish, , please send an email to events@bagshotvillage.com with your name and address and we will get one to you as soon as possible. The cards stay up until 12th Night, so plenty of time to get down to read them! If you need information about the Bagshot Christmas Street Market, please contact Bagshot Business Association.
Thank you and very early Seasonal Greetings
Tina Carney – Fairy Nuff’s Chief Helper and Coordinator of Wishes!

Its fantastic to be able to share this heartwarming story of kindness. We received this message from Wendy who wants to say thank you to a stranger called Andrew.
“Hi, I would like to thank the young lad called Andrew who kindly stopped and helped my husband when he fell in the mud and cut his hand, just by the Cricketers bridge. Andrew phoned me and then walked with him to Sunrise where I picked him up. This was such a kind thing to do as my husband has Parkinson’s and memory problems. We would just like him to be acknowledged for his kind deed.”

Bagshot residents to take action against irresponsible dog owners.
22 September, 2016 by
Basically we are FED UP OF THE CRAP!
Day after day, we see posts on social media complaining about dog poo on the streets and in areas where children play. The path between our two schools is now at crisis point – Badger Swift Way has been renamed ‘Dog Shit Way’ and for good reason! The playing fields and surrounding area at the BPFA are also suffering from piles of poo, left by lazy dog owners, who just let their dogs run around and then foul wherever it takes their fancy…….. and then leave it! Who are these irresponsible and anti-social dog owners? It is time to name and shame! Maybe after a few successful prosecutions, the message may get through. Below is the Surrey Heath Borough Council information.
Dog Fouling
Failure to clean up after your dog is an offence. Anyone seen allowing their dog to foul and not cleaning up after, may be prosecuted.
If you are aware of anyone who is allowing their dog(s) to foul in a public space and is not clearing it up, please contact us.
Within the Borough the dog walker must scoop their dog’s mess up from all designated land to which the public have access. Designated land includes:
- Footways and paths of all descriptions
- Play areas, picnic sites and outdoor eating places
- Sport playing pitches including 5 metre border
- Formal parks and land where the grass is cut
- Land outside schools and hospitals
- Car parks, public transport bays and surrounds
- Cycleways and surfaced areas near to houses
- Basingstoke Canal towpath
- Shopping areas, markets and public circulation areas
- Cemeteries and war memorials
- Land surrounding toilets, recycling sites and public buildings
To dispose of dog faeces:
Use the provided dog bins or place in any of our litter bins, providing the poop is bagged and tied!
Never allow your pet to foul anywhere where people walk and play.
Please note: The Order does not apply to: heathland, woodland and common land providing fouling of car parks, footways, formal area, picnic and play spaces is not allowed to occur. (An additional one-metre mess-free border applies to footpaths).
Worming
Good dog owners want to keep their dog happy and healthy so it is important to make sure your dog is wormed regularly.
Garden Accumulation
If a person allows a large quantity of dog faeces to accumulate in their garden it may cause problems through smell and flies which could have an adverse effect on their neighbours. Hopefully any problem can be dealt with informally. If however, this is not the case then the council may serve an abatement notice under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 requiring the owner/occupier of the premises to clear the garden of all dog faeces and maintain it in a clean condition. If a person on whom an abatement notice is served contravenes or fails to comply with the notice they shall be guilty of an offence.
