On Sunday 19th November, 2023, the popular  Street Fayre returns to Sunninghill High Street. 

 

Sunninghill & Ascot parish Council is delighted that plans are shaping up for the Sunninghill Street Fayre (formerly called the Victorian Street Fayre). This one day event (running from 12 noon to 4 pm) sees Sunninghill High Street transformed into a busy Street Fayre celebrating the local community. It is an opportunity for local businesses, community groups, schools and other local organisations to showcase themselves.

Hot food & drink will be plentiful and the High Street retailers will be open, offering all their lovely wares and Christmas goodies too.  Stallholders offering gifts, craft items, street food and all special interest, wishing to take part should contact Sunninghill & Ascot Parish Council , by email, as soon as possibleevents@s-a-pc.com

The event starts with a parade at 12 noon led by the town crier and St Andrews Pipes and Drums. There will be market stalls and food outlets all along the High Street, interspersed with children’s rides and other entertainment including Father Christmas in his grotto and the opportunity to see real reindeer.

 The aim of the event is two fold: to raise vital funds for local organisations and to raise awareness of the village of Sunninghill and its fine selection of unique and interesting shops and businesses.

Criminals are targeting WhatsApp users by posing as a friend and asking for a security code. Action Fraud has received over 60 reports relating to this scam.

The scam begins when a criminal gets access to another WhatsApp account which has you listed as a contact.

The criminal, posing as your friend or someone that’s a member of a WhatsApp group you’re in, will then send you seemingly normal messages to try and start a conversation with you. However, around the same time you will receive a text message from WhatsApp with a six-digit code. This is because the criminal has been trying to login to WhatsApp using your mobile number. The criminal will claim that they sent you their code by accident and ask you to help them by sending it to them. Once the criminal has this code, they can login to your WhatsApp account and lock you out.

The criminal will then use the same tactic with your WhatsApp contacts in an effort to steal more accounts and use them to perpetrate fraud.

At the weekend three Year 12 students were part of the team which won the Space Design Competition National Finals at Imperial College London.

On 11th and 12th March, students from Charters Sixth Form took part in The Space Design Competition National Finals at Imperial College London. Three Year 12 students who had won their regional heat back in November to qualify for the final, were accompanied to the 48 hour competition by Head of Physics at the Sunningdale school, Mr Morgan-John.

After a gruelling 13 hour day on Saturday, followed by an early start on Sunday, the school are incredibly proud to report that Lauren, Libby and Natalia were part of the winning team.

The students summed up their experience at the event for us:

“As part of the UK Space Design Competition, we were put into one of four teams of about 60 students each from a range of schools who also were part of winning regional teams and asked to design a space station that orbits the sun. Within our team we then split ourselves into a range of groups including structural engineering, human factors, operations, automation, and marketing and were then given points that our relative groups had to cover in a final presentation. The competition lasted from 10AM – 10PM but most people worked into the night, trying to make our presentation as professional and viable as possible. Our team won the competition, and we learnt a lot from the other people who had competed before. It was a challenging educational experience and I hope we can do it again next year and get more people involved”.

Congratulations to Lauren, Libby and Natalia for their hard work over the two days which ultimately led to their success.
