The committee of the village hall would like to express their absolute gratitude to the parish council for their exceptionally generous donation, which will make a significant difference in supporting the Christmas party for the village children. Their kindness and support are truly appreciated by all involved.

Christmas is a time for joy and celebration, and this year we're pulling out all the stops with exciting competitions, raffles and fantastic prizes plus, it's all for a wonderful cause! We're delighted to be supporting the Save the Children Christmas Jumper Fundraiser, bringing festive cheer while making a difference. As a charity, we usually channel our fundraising efforts into upgrading equipment and adding new features to our beloved village hall, but twice a year we come together to support wider good causes. This year, we hosted a delightful afternoon tea in aid of breast cancer, and now we're gearing up for our Christmas campaign in support of Save the Children. Join us for some festive fun and help us spread goodwill in our community and beyond!

Glass washer update

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the local villager who kindly purchased the final 22 scratch card tickets, enabling us to raise the remaining funds needed for the glasswasher.; your support in purchasing those last tickets made all the difference. Thanks to you to everyone who bought a ticket, we have now reached our goal, and I will be ordering the glasswasher in the next couple of days.
Congratulations to Stephen Smith, who held the lucky number 10. Amusingly, Stephen is my son-in-law and was attending race night as a birthday treat for me. Thanks to Jacqui—my secret weapon when it comes to selling any kind of raffle ticket—Stephen was persuaded to buy a few tickets, never expecting to win. He left delighted with a bottle of wine and a hamper. Once again, a sincere thank you to our generous local villager
THE BAR
MEET AND GREET
The second THE BAR event was absolutely buzzing with activity! The ‘Meet the Parish Council’ gathering proved to be a real hit, as we brought out all the games—including crowd favourites like table tennis. It was wonderful to welcome back some familiar faces and to see the community coming together. Once again, our legendary toasties were a crowd-pleaser, and we even kicked off decorating for Christmas, bringing plenty of festive cheer. It’s truly heartening to witness so many people joining in the fun.
Looking ahead, there’s plenty more excitement in store! The next THE BAR event will be our special Save the Children Christmas Jumper Fundraiser on 21st December. Don’t miss out on the fantastic meat draw—make sure to grab your raffle tickets at any event, run by the committee. But the fun doesn’t stop there: we’ve got Bingo night coming up on 6th December, the children’s party on 13th December, and then we’ll round off with a festive THE BAR gathering on 21st December. Mark your calendars—you won’t want to miss any of these brilliant community events!
