RPC Agenda 21.05.25

First published in 2001 Michael Moore’s “Stupid White Men” still entertains whilst making a number of serious points. For something completely different why not try “He Has Been Here and Fired a Gun” published to coincide with the 2019 hanging by the Royal Academy of Turner’s Helvoetsluys and Constable’s The Opening of Waterloo Bridge?

Three whodunnits this month – the last Christopher St John Sprigg: “Death of a Queen”, a very different setting from his other novels and, in my opinion, not so well plotted;

“The Antique Hunter’s Guide to Murder” by C.L. Miller, a promising premise …and finally,

“The Wychford Poisoning Case” by Anthony Berkeley, a founder of the Detection Club, and credited as the book that first introduced psychology to the detective novel.

I enjoyed this one save for the irrelevant corporal punishment scene, a reflection of 1926’s compass, perhaps.

Sunday, May 25th to mark Rogation Sunday, the traditional day to “Beat the Bounds”. Meet in the Church porch at 11:00 am

Ridlington Annual Parish Meeting 2025

Some people have asked if there could be another Safari Supper. The Village Hall Trustees are happy to organise this for a summer event, but before we get into the finer details we need a minimum of 4 people to host the main course and a further 4 people to host the dessert course both catering for 6 guests. No starter course, but bubbly & nibbles in the village hall before moving off.

If you can host for a course please let Pat Roome know on 01572 821416
