Come join us in the Village Hall for a festive tipple and start your Christmas cheer early….

The Village Hall is holding it’s annual Social Night on Friday, December 15th at 7:00 pm.

Various drinks and seasonal snacks will be on tap. There will also be  non alcoholic and soft drinks available for those who have to drive home or are under age.

If you have not yet got yourself or a loved one a Christmas wreath, you can buy one on the evening, kindly handmade by Jan Powley and all proceeds will go to charity.

Looking forward to seeing you there….

 

A time for reflection…. yes it certainly is in so many ways…

The British Legion Poppy Appeal Remembrance Afternoon Tea this year in the Village Hall, was an outstanding success and it demonstrated that when people come together great things can be achieved.

From all of you who attended the event and to the many of you who knitted, baked, donated and helped in various ways – thank you all so much! Your generosity made a hugely positive contribution to the total amount raised. It was an astonishing £761.

We have been reliably informed that the winning prize – “The Stone of Remembrance” a Rich Chocolate Cake – was admired and enjoyed by friends and family.

The work of the Royal British Legion continues to be as relevant today as when it was when it first started.

THANK YOU All once again for your tremendous support.

Shelagh, Jo, Jackie
