BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

The first, “Lily’s Promise” by Lily Ebert, a compelling memoir of the Holocaust.  Very powerful and moving, a testament to Lily’s irrepressible spirit.

The second,  Elif Shafak’s “The Island of Missing Trees”, historical fiction recording the impact of ethnic division and how trauma moves through generations – loved this book.

Using the theme of generational trauma, Ashley Audrain’s “The Push”, tells of the making and breaking of a family in a tense psychological thriller

THE BIG PLASTIC COUNT

Some of us did this for a week in March.

Our household, just the two of us and the dog, logged 44 pieces of plastic – that equates to 2,288 pieces per year.  We try to recycle as much as we can but can we reduce the amount of plastic in our home?  Crisps – who doesn’t love them?  We could make our own…but we’ve found a supplier who uses recyclable bags – taste test coming up!

RIDLINGTON VILLAGE HALL – UPDATE

Village Hall fundraising social events for 2024

Your Hall needs your support

 

The Village Hall team of Trustees & helpers are active in setting up events such as coffee mornings, quiz nights, socials at Christmas, garden talks, parties etc. and are always looking for new ideas to bring the village community together and have some fun.

We are very fortunate to have such an iconic place to hold these events, right in the centre of the village, which also acts as a polling station, a collection point for newspapers, a setting for street parties, Morris dancers and a venue for Parish Council meetings.

However, all this comes at a cost.  The Trustees ensure that there are funds set aside for long-term maintenance and day to day expenses – insurance, heating & lighting, water charges, fire checks & fixing things which wear out, all require ongoing income.  This only comes from hiring the Hall on a regular basis.

We need your help to support these efforts, both by coming to join in and/or helping out with organisation, cake baking, setting out tables & chairs, clearing away etc.

If you can help in any way or suggest any fundraising events, please contact Pat Roome on either 01572 821416 or pat.roome@btinternet.com

Please try to attend the Annual Parish Council Meeting on Wednesday, May 15th at 6:00 pm where the Trustees give a report on the previous year and will answer any questions – importantly it is your opportunity to say what you think.
