Dear All,

Thank you for coming to the Coffee Morning at the Village Hall last Friday and a big thank you to those who provided the variety of very tasty cakes.

We had a good turn out and it was nice to see everyone coming out again. We managed to raise £101.00 which will continue to go to the upkeep of the Village Hall.

 

 

Please find below the Village Hall Annual Report and Accounts for 2021.

Both will be on the Agenda at the Parish Annual Meeting to be held in Wednesday, May 11th 2022.

Ridlington VH AC SUMMARY 2021

 

Best wishes
David Roome
Chairman

Charles Veal of Main Street,  Ridlington, sadly passed away after a long period of ill health on Sunday 27 March 2022.

A private funeral for family and close friends only, will be held in Peterborough on Thursday 28 April.

The cortège will be leaving the village at 1.15 pm and villagers are welcome to gather near the house and along the road as a mark of respect and a last farewell. This gesture will be much appreciated by the family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Charles’ widow Barbara, his son, daughter and their respective families. May he rest in peace.

 

Thanks to everyone who volunteered during the week commencing 13th March.

It’s a shame that we have to undertake the task each year but the effort is worth it.
