POPPY APPEAL 2024

We are holding a coffee, tea and cakes afternoon in support of the Royal British Legion’s 2024 Poppy Appeal. Do come and join us, we look forward to welcoming you all.

Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal 2024
Nov 5th 2024 from 14:00 – 16:30 hrs

 

November 11th at 11:00 o’clock is our national day of Remembrance and Reflection for those who fought so bravely to safeguard our democratic values and freedom.

It is for this reason that it is so important not to forget the contribution of these young men and women who have served and sacrificed their lives in World Wars and who continue to do so in ongoing conflicts throughout the world in these unsettled times.

In order to commemorate and to continue to support, do come and join us on Tuesday, November 5th from 14:00 – 16:30 hrs at Ridlington Village Hall, for coffee, teas and delicious homemade cakes.

As with all events, places are limited, therefore if you can, please could you confirm your interest and attendance beforehand to anyone of us, so that we can ensure that there will be enough goodies to go round. If you are unable to attend but would still like to support, please let Shelagh know.

All donations and pledges will go towards supporting the invaluable work of the Royal British Legion. Really hoping you, your friends and family, can make it and looking forward to seeing and hearing from you….

Thank you

RURAL COFFEE CONNECT

Hello,

I work for the Rural Community Council Charity, a local charity supporting rural areas around Leicestershire & Rutland.

As part of this, we are working in partnership with the Rutland Citizens Advice Centre and have been visiting lots of locations in and around Rutland. We have been to many locations and have one more location to book in before our project finishes at the end of September.

We bring along our barista coffee van (https://www.ruralcc.org.uk/coffee/), park in the car park or roadside, set up our gazebo at the van & pop out a couple of chairs, and serve free hot drinks to local residents – this helps overall to reduce loneliness and isolation in the area, creates a lovely area for people to come along and have a chat, and also means that we can help to support people and tell them about what’s on in the local community, and how the Citizens Advice Bureau in Rutland may be able to help them in lots of ways.

We look forward to seeing you at Ridlington Village Hall, Main Street, Ridlington.

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.
