achieved through the use of a hand-held radar device and if drivers are found to
exceed the limit by more than a certain margin, they will receive a warning letter
from the police. Any persistent offenders will, ultimately, be penalized.

Despite the potential penalty element, the aim of CSW is not to catch motorists
out – it is simply to encourage them to be mindful that they are in a speed
restricted area and that they should proceed accordingly.

Further down the line, as data are gathered, we may be able to instigate moves
to reduce the speed limit to 20mph and to extend the areas covered by those
limits – these points were frequently raised in survey responses.

As and when there is more to report, we will provide updates in both the parish
magazine and on the community website.

BLADEN SOCIAL CLUB - VOLUNTEERS
REQUIRED

The Bladen Social Club needs volunteers to come and have fun and enjoy
themselves. No previous experience required just a willingness to visit the club on
a Monday or Saturday evening, buy alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks and enjoy
yourselves. Bring your friends, family, and neighbours or just come and meet other
residents of Briantspuddle and Affpuddle who enjoy a drink and a night out.

Without you the Bladen Social Club is just four walls, a roof and plenty of alcoholic
and non-alcoholic drinks. What makes for a good atmosphere and fun is your
presence.

The fun part:
There will be a quiz night on Saturday 1 April and another on Saturday the 29
th
st
April.
Then on subsequent months there will be other themed events.
Dogs are welcome so on a summer evening, why not pop in for a quick drink or
two, after walking your dog.
The club is open from 8pm to 11:30pm on Monday and Saturday evenings and if
there is enough demand on Friday evenings once British Summertime is up and
running.
Please get in touch by Tuesday 4th April Details of future Bladen Social Club events will be found in this magazine and on
Parish notice boards as soon as details are finalised.
