News From the Village Hall

We are still working on the repair of the flat roofs but are optimistic that they will
be fixed while the weather is good. We are trying to keep in good condition a
building erected before the Second World War, but several members of the
Committee were born not long after hostilities ended. We do need more help!

This could be by your joining in on an ad hoc basis for an event - such as a
clean-up - or by agreeing to help with a particular aspect of running the Hall. You
would not necessarily have to be a Trustee, though we are down to eight.

Bookings bring in valuable revenue, but we will shortly require someone to look
after them.

The next coffee morning, on Saturday 19th April is being run by and for the
Village Hall. We hope as many of you as possible will be there and be prepared
to offer a bit of time every now and again so that the Hall can continue being the
focal point of our friendly community.

Village Spring Clean

The Parish Council would like to thank all the volunteers who recently took part
in the Village Spring Clean. We collected 2.5 bags of rubbish and 3 further
builders merchant bags of leaves. It shows that those volunteers who already
litter pick throughout the village on a regular basis are doing a great job. A huge
thank you to you all.

A special thanks to everyone who contributed to the successful 2025 calendar – it

was a sell-out.
