Unfortunately due to  insufficient interest the Village Hall Committee will not be going ahead with the Safari Supper planned for August 30th.

However,  the Curry Night on Saturday Oct 4th will be going ahead, delicious home cooked food and good company. So if you have not already done so, and would still like to enjoy some “Indian delights”, please let Pat Roome know on  telephone 01572 821416  or by email pat.roome@btinternet.com

Many Thanks
Dave

Save the Date!

We have decided to hold a Safari Supper on Saturday 30th August! Thank you to those of you who have offered to do a course or come along.

There are still plenty of places left, so come along for good company and delicious food. Finer details forthcoming.

Please contact Pat Roome on 01572 821416 or by email – pat.roome@btinternet.com if you wish to attend.

 

 

Save the Date – Friday 4th July at 7.30pm

Venue – Ridlington Church

The Ridlington Singers present an informal concert of ‘Songs from the Shows’ – music from Cole Porter to Elton John…

Glasses will be provided if you wish to bring your own refreshment.

Donations in aid of LOROS and church funds.

 

The next collection date is 25th June.  Your continued support of this project is gratefully received.

 

Gripped from the first page!  So pleased this book was recommended to me – “Three Hours” by Rosamund Luxton – a thriller describing a school under siege during a violent snow storm. You won’t want to put it down – one of the best books I have read in a long time.

If scholarly biography rather than thrillers is more up your street, try “The Short Life and Long Times of Mrs Beeton” by Kathryn Hughes. You’ll learn a lot about the chasm between the public and private lives of Mrs Beeton and her husband, be fascinated by the ups and downs of his publishing business and the insight into Victorian society.

Lastly, “What’s the Use”, a collection of humorous poems with cartoon illustrations poking gentle fun at the Church of England.  The poems “On Pleasing Everybody”  and “Never Right” are particular favourites and “Anglican Noah’s Ark” makes me anxious about our proposed pet service!

 

After looking at the forecast for Saturday Jacky Morell and I have decided that it would be for the best to cancel the Churches Count on Nature scheduled for Saturday June 7th. We apologise for this last minute cancellation.

However, in the meantime, on June 4th we decided to spend an hour and a half looking at lichen and insects so we will have something to add to our records.  The exciting news is that we now also have swifts in the church for the second year running.

We will advise if another date will be planned or not later in the season.
