VILLAGE HALL NEWS

Here we are heading on into February and quite a
few of us have received our first vaccinations and
we’re all looking forward to being back in tiers.
Whoever thought living in a tier system of restrictions
could feel good but after another full lockdown
anything that suggests we’re heading back
towards something much closer to the old normal feels good!. I had hoped that
we could’ve had pancake races and a sweet and savoury pancake lunch but I
fear we will have to wait until 2022 for that, but you are allowed out for daily
exercise so there’s no excuses for not starting the training now for next year.
We were fortunate that further
restrictions didn’t come in until after
the village hall café was able to
hold the Christmas lunches. A huge
thank you to all those that helped
out in making it a very successful
lunchtime. The village shop
sponsored the event meaning we
could offer a 3 course meal plus an
aperitif as well as wine with the main
course and tea or coffee with
Christmas cake to follow all for £5
and still be able to put some money into the village halls coffers in these times of
little or no income.
We had 28 people pre book their socially distanced tables and 11 who felt more
comfortable having lunch delivered to their door. Thanks to Chris Miller, Ann
Colquhoun, Lesley Wilcox, Ali Chorley, Amelia Chorley and Eloise Chorley for
helping me on the day and those who stayed behind afterwards to help clear up.

And I think a good time was had by all, and everyone remained safe and well at
the same time.
Looking forward into next month hopefully we will be able to reopen the café on
Tuesdays and Saturdays and start thinking about various events such as Mike
Menzies’ lectures and artsreach. Any ideas of other events the village hall could
